It is not a massive offence in your cas but you would get a nicer looking bike, better grip, more comfort and slightly shorter reach if you tilted bars down a tad and moved levers up a wee bit.
The transition between top of bars and hood needs to be slightly concave rather than convex and your is convex and it means hoods sit proud of bar tape/tops.
Also the bottom of your compact bars should be at less of an angle. By rotating bars down you let the bottom but of the drops come closer to you making the drops nicer to ride.

I’m honoured to have made the first post of this thread. It’s not quite clear to me what I’ve done wrong? I need to rotate my bars down and move the hoods up so both the tops and levers are horizontal? Fairy minutious adjustment in my case?
I do feel bad for causing you such distress.
