The lever shouldn't be able to come anywhere near the bars, even adjustable ones.
Check fluid level is above the lower limit (if its low check pads before topping up) then tie the lever back to the handlebar using a cable tie or similar for an hour or so, check all joints for any leaks, release it then re tie for as long as you can, overnight of possible.
If that doesn't help then I'd suggest a full rebuild of piston seals, fluid and if you dont have braided lines yet then might as well go the whole hog, the only reason I say that is these are your brakes, if anything is worth spending money on its your brakes, and sooner rather than later!
