stem length...(a personal problem)

I think my stem is a bit to long, it's a 120mm. I just built the bike and we threw on this stem, but it just doesn't feel right. I feel like I'm reaching, and when I look down the handlebars are about 1.5" past the axle, I'm trying to remember, I thought the bars should be about equal with the axle. I've tried to move the seat forward, but then I feel like the my weight is way over the front wheel.....any input is appreciated





approx view when riding with my hands on the brakes....
