This is a weird one...
I'm half way through doing a 30-day spider exercise challenge to improve finger independence.
Do you ever feel that you really struggle with a certain movement that should in theory be relatively easy?

There's a line in Laid to rest by Lamb of god that goes 8 7 5 4 on the D string, which I play with fingers 4 3 1 1
The bit I struggle with is going 5 4 with my 1st finger.
Surely this is one of the easiest fretting moves on guitar lol, but I can't seem to do it at the required tempo.
I'm not sure if it's because of tension, or if it's a mental thing.
Have you ever had such a problem?

I'd probably try and get a 4321 going if you can, although it's quite a stretch. Or drop down to the A string for the G to F#. Many ways to skin a cat on the guitar.
Like Grungebob said, nail it slow first before you move it up to speed.
