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.
