Your weight should be on the butt of your palm. Rotate your elbows inwards so the butt of the palms are resting on the handlebars/hoods. Are you using modern brifters or old style brake levers?
Carpal tunnel is index, middle, and 1/2 of ring finger, whereas the OP's numbness is little finger and 1/2 of ring finger which is the Ulnar nerve.
