I just picked up these PNW Range bars used for $25 for my budget mtb. Even though the logo is centered in the stem, I’m not 100% sure I’ve got the roll/upsweep dialed in correctly. Does the positioning look right to you?

I’d say roll forward but it’s all about what fits/feels good
They’re right if they feel good.
Positioning looks fine, main thing is to make sure it is comfortable for you to ride.
More importantly, does it feel comfortable to you? There’s some “range” (no pun intended) to how you can angle them to better fit your personal preference.
Looks decent.
If you want it more upright or more down go for it.
Really it all comes down to comfort. If you feel a lot of weight towards the thumb area of your palm, I’d roll the bars forwards a bit to flare the outsides and distribute the weight more evenly across my hands. Also I think a lot of people say they match the rise of the bar with the angle of their head tube/fork. IMO, I’d roll the bars forward a bit, but that’s for my preference
Super subjective, that’s for to figure out what you like.👍
If I was setting up the bike for the floor I would roll the forward a smidge but it’s whatever you like
While it is subjective, that’s an extreme amount of roll. A good place to start is getting the bars to run parallel with the fork angle from the side view. From there, a couple degrees forward or backward can make a big difference in feel.
