That's how I have mine too. I don't screw it on quite so tight so I adjust it as needed with my index finger as I need to. And I want it to give if it's knocked so it won't break off. I have bar end shifters so it's about in the same place. Play with the tilt to get the view you want. It's very adjustable.
