This is my first time and I'm learning by doing, ok?
No worries. The good thing is all these parts have bolts which you can undo. Try a little more like this:
The bar angle in this picture is still a tad extreme in my opinion. Try pointing the bar ends to the rear brake caliper, and position the hoods as above. So in your case: tilt the bars back down a little and put the shifters further up the bend of the bars. Look at them from the side from a distance to see if it's right.

I did some cabling and stuff.
Bad news is that
a) I'm sure the bars are at the wrong angle, wrong reach, wrong hood mount point, wrong everything. This is my first time and I'm learning by doing, ok?
b) I can't make the front mech work at all. Whilst trying to make it work I think I pulled too hard on the lever shifter and now it is all weird and the cable stop has disappeared into the hood and I can't get the cable out and I am pretty sure I fucked it. Off to the shop tomorrow.
