I have done ten RAPS jumps and have now opted for AFF. I have done the ground school however due to bad weather i've not jumped since November. I can't wait to go freefall but i'm actually getting nervous about being under canopy?!
Is this normal? Are there malfunctions that can occur when a fully good canopy has been opened?

The short answer is YES.
But not much of this happens on student canopies. In fact, I've never heard of it. But I don't want to say never since something may have happened somewhere that I don't know about.
If you progres to smaller canopies this can become more of a factor. But not if you fly them well. Fly smooth, fly smart, and you won't have any issues. There's also nothing saying that you HAVE to fly parachutes that are easier to malfunction after they have opened.
