This is gonna make me look stupid, but how can I get better at clicking the right target?

Cuz I fucking suck at it, 7 times out of 10 when I need to click on a specific target in a teamfight or even click on a certain unit in a group of minions, I will fuck it up. Anyone have any advice on how to iron out this bad habit? I mean mostly in clutch situations where shit happens really fast, I tend to choke.

There's a setting in windows for mouse movement (control panel -> hardware/devices -> mouse properties -> pointer options) called "Enhance pointer precision," by default this is turned on. If it is turned on, turn it off. In the short run this will feel very strange and you'll often find the mouse either doesn't move as far as you want when you want to cross the screen and will have difficulty moving short distances with precision, but in the long run you can achieve higher precision.

The game contains some features that you may like to take advantage of. Simple right-clicking is usually bound to attack or move depending on whether you click an attackable target or the ground, meaning that if you miss and click the ground you could end up walking towards an enemy instead of attacking them which is often really really bad. Attack-move (shift+right-click by default, I believe) instead has your champion walk in a direction until they find an enemy within auto range and then immediately begin auto attacking, this is a much safer way to safely auto attack at the right distance and gives you more leeway. There is an option that also allows attack-move to direct auto attacks towards the enemy closest to your cursor at the time you clicked IF the enemy was inside your auto range at the time of the click for further leeway for precisely attacking targets.

The next big problem you run into would be attack-moving when there are minions in the way or many minions around enemy champions, causing your auto attacks to be directed at minions instead of champions. There is a 'target only champions' button in the game which only works specifically for attack clicks meaning you need to directly click on the champion without missing. I don't really use that button since I can't find a good binding for it.

Practice always helps no matter the settings you pick.

If you need to practice mouse movement and precision, I'd recommend playing Osu! whenever you have a few minutes free.

It might help and you can listen to songs you enjoy.

Play osu! Its a rhythm game that requires precise clicking and timing, and its fun on its own.
