I don’t think that is right. Maybe try taller bars or a taller stem.
The issue is probably the toptube being too short, 9.5 I pretty sure just refers to the height of the bars not the width.
handlebars too wide?
Cut the bars down. They are probably 29-30” and most people are going to cut them down at least an inch and a half. Also it appears your frame is very short so thats going to affect how close you are to your bars when riding
How long is your frame? And how tall are you?
How far do you turn your bars while riding? I mean yeah they are pretty big, but you should still be able to fully rotate them.
Especially with a 21″ toptube
Maybe check your riding posture.
