For me, palm muting has always been a technique i rarely practice, due to my bad right hand. When i am alternate picking (while palm muting) i feel very uncomfortable, i have to change the way i hold the pick and i have to twist my hand so that i can hit the strings from the side (hard to explain.)

I can't hit the notes as i would do if i am palm muting, I am at the moment recovering from bad alternate picking habbits and now i am constantly going up and down with my right hand, picking with the wrists so to speak. But when i do that while palm muting, i dont get enough space ( between the pick and the strings) and the picking (with the wrists).

What should i do, i hope i gave enough explaination....

try puting your palm muting hand in a comfortable position to reach all the strings and practice your exercises in very slow tempo. dont play it faster if you cant play it clean in slow tempo.
you can see how i do it in my lesson here. part 3
