Since I'm sure your bars aren't too low or the throttle spring isn't too heavy, you're leaning too much on your arms/wrist. Practice proper position and support yourself with your core.
How exactly do you support yourself with your core?

I've tried squeezing my legs against the tank but then I just feel my lower back supporting me instead of my core.

I have clip-ons that are lower than the stock if that makes any difference. (Previous owner's mod not mine)
