Stem Length

Hi everyone,
I have a question about stem length. Here is some background. I went for a bike fit last year for among other reasons shoulder pain when riding. The fitting was helpful but only partly resolved my shoulder pain. So, I went back to the fitter & he said my bike set up had me reaching out too far on my handlebars. So he suggested I get FSA Wing Comp or FSA Wing Pro Comp handlebars to reduce my reach. He also said I'd need a stem for the handlebars because my 2011 stem won't hold a 2017 handlebar due to a design change in the handlebar diameter. Unfortunately, my fitter didn't say whether I need to change the angle or length of the stem. I'm wondering if I need to change either the angle or the length along with the handlebar. My fitter has gone incommunicado. Any opinions on how I should proceed?
