I'll bet your derailleur hanger is out of alignment. Have you tried aligning it with the proper tool?

Problems:
Handlebar seems to thin for my brake-lever (completely closed, it can still move). Anybody any ideas?
One thing that comes to mind is teflon tape. When I rode dirt bikes I would always put a couple wraps of teflon tape around the bars where the clutch and brake attached. When I crashed the teflon tape would allow the levers to spin instead of breaking. Point being the teflon tape is cheap, easy to use, clean, and will take up some space.

I had the same problem. Way too soft and would not keep alignment for even one ride. I got a replacement (same cheap quality) and it happened all over again. Try this website. I found a hanger that was an exact match except it's made out of a better quality aluminum and it's machined not molded.
