I think that's moving way too many fingers.

Instead, play the E and F with the standard fingerings and then go to the G with either:

TR xoo/ ooo (Eb)

or

TR oxo (right side key Eb/Bb) / ooo (Eb)

or

TR oxx (left pinky C#/G#) / xxo (Eb)

BTW - This passage is in unison with the piccolo and then joined by other woodwinds. The piccolo will be the voice heard the most.
