First "expensive" road bike for me, and it rides like an absolute dream. Been considering many different options over the past months, but I'm so happy I ended up with this one!
Don’t want to be a hater, congrats on the new bike, but if that angle is required this might not have been the right bike/size for you.
Generally speaking this means you’re compensating for lack of mobility in the hips, or more likely in this case just way too big of a drop between saddle and handlebars. This will cause you to continuously want to slide forward on the saddle, and create constant pressure on the hands and wrists trying to stay in place.
And as fast as a bike can look, a comfortable bike will be faster in the end. Come join us in r/bikefit and they might be able to help you out.
