Moustache bars - where do the levers go?

I've got a pair of Nashbar's "moustache bars." I've mounted them "upside down" (with the rise going UP, not down). When I try to put the (Shimano Exage 600 Road) levers in the bends, the hoods stick up, so that I have to bend my wrists at a 90-degree angle to reach the levers. If I rotate the levers downward, then the pull is above the plane of the bars, and I'm pulling back over the bar! If I move the levers away from the bend and onto the straight section leading to the stem, the levers are again in line with the bars, but now the curve of the levers limits travel!

HELP!
