16014 Clasp Education Help

Hello. First-time Rolex purchaser here of a mid-80s 16014. Struggling to get the clasp to sit properly on my 6.75" wrist. Is this is normal, or am I not adjusting it right...

Got the watch yesterday. The first thing I noticed is that the clasp mechanism is fairly flat and not as rounded (to fit the wrist) as I would hope - couple that with a small wrist, and it's just not sitting properly. I tried to size it down, but the smaller I sized it, the worse it looked. The top of the clasp pushes up, and the lower part doesn't wrap around the wrist forcing the band out at a hard angle.

Must have been the same issue with its previous owner(s) as the jubilee has permanent indentations from the pressure of the clasp joint pressing in over time

Normal?
