The levers are only a very little too far down the bars, it's the bars that are rotated too far.
The tips of the levers should be set level with the bottom of the drops (sit the bars level on a flat surface and adjust the levers so the tips touch that surface): this allows fingertip use from the hooks.
The drops should be at an angle that keeps the wrist straight when used: they'll be bent backwards with them horizontal.
Perhaps whoever set those up has been reading some bollocks bike-porn rulez... :0
