I'm not surprised!
When I went with a threadless adapter & Postino bar I found that, for me the most comfortable position for brakes was more out front and more parallel to the bars than rotated down, out nearer the ends. Adding thumbies took some time to rebalance everything (couldn't find my cable cutters so there's still some tweaking yet to do).
I don't think I'd like thumbies like what you'd used there, the mounts put the levers too far from the bar. May be awkward to address without having to alter hand positions quite a lot. The Sun Race pair @bikemig pointed me to makes a good place to start, they don't require separate bar mounts.

I'm off work this afternoon, plans include getting my MB back onto trainer for a few miles' testing @ Z2-Z3. Time will tell!
