I position mine so that I see the outer edge of my arms. If I stick an elbow OUT momentarily (no need to take my hand off the grip) I can see directly behind me through the gap between my elbow and my body.

Works fine.

As others have said, once you get used to it, it's really a non-issue.

I also use the road to advantage… do a mirror check as you enter a sweeper and you can easily see everyone behind you.
