i put the tips of thumbs on the edge of the rough part of the center then extend and position my hands from there.

I could very well have form problems but I’ll address that later and just want to remedy the pain because time and rest by itself aren’t doing it

The bar should almost sit on your wrists to try to take them out of the equation and use your forearm bones as a support in a way.

Try Rogue wrist wraps. They help. As for the immediate pain, Advil and rest.

I'll try to find the link, but Ripp did a video a fee years ago with The Art Of Manliness on proper form for his Starting Stength lifts. He spent quite a bit of time in the overhead press video talking about how to hold the bar specifically regarding wrists. It's not how you would naturally think.
