Taller Stem Needed

This is my 1st bike with drops and I feel like the stem is too short at 75mm between the minimum insertion line and the top.

I have heard a lot of people are comfy with the bars even with the saddle, as you can see, I am a bit south of that. I can definitely feel increased weight on my wrists when I am on the hoods and the bike feels "darty"

Thinking raise the bar height and go from there? as you can see the stem reach is already pretty short at around 6omm

Thanks - I did look through this forum and read a lot about stem LENGTH but not height... thanks!
