You also look like you're compensating for more reach than you can handle by dropping your shoulders, so you might also try a shorter stem.
I had a hunch someone would mention this. Good spot. I could see something was "wrong" but didn't quite process it. I wonder if this issue is just bike-fit, or persists? In any case, it seems like the obvious target to address.
