Correct. I have the pad angle on my Speed Concept maxed (~15 degrees) so it's actually quite comfy and very secure. If you can't tilt your pads, try much thicker pads to start (think Ceegees). I've seen people get creative with angled washers for their P5s with the stock base bar. I'm sure you could probably rig up a similar solution for your IA.

Great! Thanks for the help. What are you referring to with angled washers? Also what bar extension did you use for that position? Thanks for your help and patience all this. Super awesome

I used these extensions from Profile Design. I bought mine on eBay for ~$20. I've since bent my own extensions which I'll do a post on when I get the time.

As for angled washers, a quick Google Image search will reveal what I'm talking about. Also, here are a couple resources here on Slowtwitch:
