"After testing, I found out that the problem is apparently in the thumb tube - the tube is very wide, so I thought of trying to put a narrower tube there (which would widen the thumb hole) to increase the f sharp"
A narrower diameter thumb tube will FLATTEN the F# with the regular fingering (LH index finger only). Filling in the thumb tube to reduce its diameter will also flatten the F#. Buffet and Buffet-style clarinets usually have around a 7.5mm diameter thumb tube.
The open G will be marginally affected by a change in the diameter of the thumb tube, but not much.
