Try loosening the bars and then sitting on your bike. Grab the hoods and find the most comfortable natural angle. That's what I did, and I found a position where my hands fit comfortably into the curve of the hood.
I think it's most important that your hood position is at its best, as this is where you'll be spending most of your time.
You'll also probably find that once you've done this your bars will be tilted up further than they are at the moment and it will be hard to reach the brakes on the drops.
