Question about adjusting bars

Hey Guys
I finally got my bike back from storage. But it's still too cold to ride. I had some Klock Werks Ergo back installed. I still want to lower them just a bit. But even with they way they are adjusted now I dont like the position of the levers. They are tilted up. The clutch cable will not clear the bars. If I slide the whole assembly out about 1/4 if an inch I can put them where I want them. Would it be a big deal if it the grips hung off the bars about 1/4 of an inch? I hope I worded this right. It is Monday morning. lol.
Thanks
Eric

Rotating shouldn't be much of a problem but I think moving their location on your bars to a point further out probably would be. Alos the left side grip is probably glued so you may need to cut it off to attempt to relocate it.
