Fingering for Guitar Passage

I’m having trouble playing the last four notes of measure 9 (E, C#, B, A#) and then hitting the C# of measure 10 at tempo (dotted quarter = 110) on guitar. I don’t see another way to finger the passage of my piece. Comments or suggestions would be warmly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

(Thank you Dorico team for making guitar notation so clean and easy for guitar.)

One of two ways I’d be thinking about:

… after a quick play through, I prefer the 2nd version. The jump from 1st to 4th position to get the E (4th finger, 5th string) is easier to me. Also, if you change your version, the A# 6th with 4th finger to 3rd finger, it would play pretty good as well. So, C#, B, A# = 3, 1, 3. That gives the 4th finger peace and quite before jumping to the high B.

I like your 2nd version better. Thank you so much.
