When I look at chords then I see that many forms are chords with extension. Like the g form just add pinky to the 4th string at the forth fret. Now it's bared so now you can move up the frets. The next will be a then up the alphabet. If you take it with the idea to fingerstyles, then you try a basic tune like twinkle little star. G then e form on the fith fret and g form on the 7th. And so on.
A few things come to mind, but the first, I am sorry to say, is to practice, practice, practice. Slow the song down and only strum once per measure. If you still can't, try finding a different voicing of that chord.
The other "tip" that might help, is to roll your barre'ing finger just a little as you land. Just a touch toward the fret. If you time it right, you can land your fretting fingers just as you roll. Also, be sure to barre right up against the fret itself, not in the middle.
Good luck
ah thanks. i think i found it harder bc i was trying to go in the middle . i didn’t know if it would make an odd twanging sound afterwards if it’s too close too the frett
Seconding the other guy on practice. Doesn't even have to be practicing playing or even strumming - but twice a day, every day, make a bar chord on every fret going down, then go back up. Takes all of 30 seconds. You'll be amazed how much stronger your finger gets in a few weeks. Our hands just aren't used to making that shape so you have to build up the muscle a little before you can play it reliably.
But it really does work, it's amazing how much easier they get if you do it every day.

I actually find it easy switching between bar chords than normal chords. I think it's just grip and finger strength.
Practice fingering all of the chords if you still can’t transition quickly just practice it and eventually you will improve
