@jambon yeah the issue is the geometry of the bend vs the width of the clamp... I can get it on perfectly back to front but if I want it the correct way around the drop won't allow the bottom of the quill to rotate past it so the narrower clamp area moves around the inside shoulder of the transition area of the bar... I should probably photo/draw a diagram to explain it better... It's not going to work regardless :(

One of the problems of compact bars in quill stems I guess. Open face stem then ? Deda Murex ? 3TTT Mutant ?
I've gone Nitto for compact bars and quill stem. Will hopefully fit together when I try them tonight...

It sounds like you've tried every which way but when fitting my Nitto bars to my 3t quill stem I put them in the freezer in a vein effort to not scratch the logos. Liberal amounts of lube too. Also wouldn't beat yourself up about not going 650b, when they fall out of fashion you might even be pleased you didn't go that route?

and grease on the bars ?
