Once again Thank You Jim.
I found the mistake I was making when I assumed that the thumb went under the fret you I was trying to play. I had to attempt way more pressure than moving the thumb back towards the nut.
This is so much better and the cords are sounding clear and less painful not just my hand but ears too.

thanks Jim
I was using this technique on a guitar in the past which helps.
