dm6/A chord?

Kind of a silly request, but is there anyone that could post a picture of them fingering the dm6/a chord that's used in a bunch of the early La Pompe examples?

I'm having trouble getting that chord down well without bending my wrist a lot, and while I'm sure I just really need to work on improving flexibility and strength, I'm wondering if I'm also approaching the chord in a more difficult fashion than is necessary.

Thanks, sorry again for the silly request

    Eh, now I'm just kind of confused and hoping I remembered the name of the chord right :)

    The Gypsy Rhythm book has it down as being played with the E and A strings fretted with the index finger on the 5th fret, and then the rest of the strings fretted with the ring finger on the 7th fret. Unless I'm wildly misreading the little chord charts somehow.

    But yeah, when I tried looking up a chord of that name on the Internet, I'd get charts that look like the ones you're posting, so that's why I'm kind of confused

    You could try using the pink finger instead of the ring finger. It works for me
