The interference between your arms and bars will decrease as the bars move up and/or away from you, and vice-a-versa. You can also try changing the angle of the bars, which look to be setup angled downward more than most, including myself, use them. Check out the pictures of the Noodles on Riv's product page, nice and flat on the ramps, angled in the drops. This probably wont make the front of the drops more comfortable for you, but the increased angle does make the drops position further back more natural in my experience.
