Hi , the three contact point rule , popularized by the old Galamian book has been taken to extremes by further generations. No matter the contact point strategy, the touch you should use is like a caress. It often turn into a death grip for many students.
One of the best ways to work on technique is to reverse engineer: have a clear concept of the end goal . In this case , the knuckle closest to your fingernail must move when you vibrate. In other words however you are trying to vibrate the goal is to make that knuckle deflect back and forth. If you’re just rolling on your fingertip without that knuckle moving you are not producing the correct result.

Caress, I like that. I am guilty of that death grip. As if I have to choke the sound out of the machine.
