Two issues: avatar floats when looking down + weird finger splay

Hello, I’m new to 3D modeling as well as making VRChat avatars in general. I finished a model yesterday and encountered some issues that I have actively been trying to fix.

  1. My model floats off of the ground when I look down. I have tried fixing the view point and even set the model’s position to Y = 0 in Unity so it’s right on the floor, but it doesn’t seem to fix the floating issue.

  2. My avatar has this weird finger splay, most evident in the pinkie finger and thumb.

TIn a T-pose the fingers aren’t weird and are lined up normally. I tried applying custom hand gestures to overrride the default ones, but it didn’t seem to apply to my avatar after updating it.

If I need to provide more screenshots of anything, let me know.
