Ok, here are some pics so maybe you can help diagnose my problem. I am not pretending to have short fingers--I really do!

Here are my Poco bars and brake levers. (Ignore my messy basement.)

And here is my hand when I am in the most comfortable position holding the ergo bend part of the bar. My fingers barely touch the lever.

Is the handlebar my problem, or the reach to the lever?

Thank you for any insight!
