Assuming the seat is in the correct position, you can get stems from 60 to 140 mm, and angles from -20 to +40, add spacers and there is a lot of movement. A pic would really help. A road bike requires a bit of a bent over position, you may need to balance the benefits of fast and quick with what feels best. Also gloves can make a difference in numb hands. Descente makes a glove that is padded for riding in the hoods. Good Luck.
