This is going to sound weird, but I need pinky strengthening exercises.
My pinky always collapses when I place it down on the fingerboard, so vibrato is kinda hard.
Anyone have suggestions?

Awesome, I play violin too! I used to have trouble with a weak pinky, but I researched a bit and read some books Here's what helped:
-Press the stings with the pads, not tips.
-Do scales daily. I know it's boring, but it's a great way to train your fingers.
-Have good hand posture
-Shradiek is great for strengthening all the fingers
-If you think you're too tense, try to loosen. Don't grasp the board tightly
If you have a short pinky, well.... I don't know. Looking it up on Google would probably help.
