Your bicycle already has the shorter stem (turned up to raise the bars).... nothing wrong there. It looks like you've moved the brifters up... or back slightly as well. Tilting it back would be the next step in both raising (adding height) to the bars as well as very slightly positioning them rearward. Should I assume you've also moved the saddle forward and lowered the seat to the point where you have slight knee discomfort on long rides?

There isn't anything wrong with your adjustments. And titling the handlebars up a few degrees will NOT hurt the bikes appearance.

But it possible that the bike is properly set-up (or was) and that additional adjustments and changes are just putting it further out of what would be a proper (and comfortable) fit. Or... it could be the bike is a bit too large for you. It's impossible to tell from this vantage point. Youtube videos might help you with the setup:
