Cheers @ElGato and will probably try that method at some point.
It's turned out quite good for a 1st attempt with wet tape.

I had the same issue in the past.
I've positioned the levers where I wanted them to be and used a marker to draw on the bars 1 line at each side of the clip.
I then wrapped the bars right up to the mark. Removed the lever from the clip as per your picture, used a strip of the same tape to hold the clip (like the extra pieces that come with modern bar tape), pressing on the slot so it sticks to the bar.
Wrapped around close to the clip so you don't end up with a gap. Once past the clip, you can now fit the lever, could be tricky to find the threaded hole first attempt. Once that's done you can tightened it.
I think it looks tidier than fitting the clip over the tape.
