You don't say what specific problems you're having. Without knowing that, I wouldn't have any suggestions about how to remedy them.

If you're finding the piece "quite difficult," it's possible that it may be too difficult for you at present.

Hi, I'm sorry I did not really specify on the difficulties which i faced, for example the fingering, some of the fingering indicated on the piece itself make me feel very uncomfortable, shall I just practise till i get myself comfortable with it or can i just follow my own fingering which is much more comfortable?

It can be assumed that there's a reason or a purpose for the fingerings printed on a score, so it's wise generally to at least consider them. But even the best editors' fingering suggestions are only suggestions, and they're not expected to be suitable for everyone.

The best fingering is what works for you, provided it's based on principles of comfort, efficiency and economy of movement, and control over articulation.
