well ...
The easiest way to solve the problem is this:
When you are doing the exercise ... are your arms bent. The motion should be like you are "hugging a tree". That's with dumbbells of course. Are you using dumbbells or a machine?
In either case, do the exercise and lower them until you feel the pop. On all subsequent reps, lower the weight to a point JUST BEFORE you know it will pop.
This is called reducing your range of motion ... You will get the benefits of the exercise to the best that your body will allow. Eventually, the shoulder socket and the connecting tissues in there will strengthen up, and you will be able to extend lower.
If that doesn't work, then abandon the exercise or use lighter weight. There are many options for training chest.
