Now, your worries about contacting the car with a bike's handlebar is not exactly unfounded, so yes, it is adviseable to move bikes, especially MTBs with wide handlebars further in from the inner-most position, if you gauge that the bike movement might lead to "anything" contacting the car paint. It is rare, but going over pot-holes or speed bumps or braking hard, might exaggerate things beyond what you'd think is "normal".
What you should be mostly worried about is the brake levers, not the grips.
Especially if you are transporting multiple bikes, it is advisable to do a test run and load them in a sequence that make sense: e.g. my son's 20" MTB is weird and the handlebars will hit on my dropper-post's stantion on my platform rack but the pedals will rub on his moms chainstays and this and that, so when I am bringing my trail bike along the sequence is mine-hers-son but when it is the other might be this-and-that. If you have 4-5 bikes it gets tedious to figure it out, but you can always prioritise to at least protect the car and bike #2 over the rest etc. Test runs @ your leisure definately preferable than trying it the 1st time with everyone in the car waiting for you inpantiently.

I eventually replaced it with a platform carrier, but gave it to a friend who still uses it weekly w/o issues. Thing is like 7 years old now.
Totally worths it for $45-50, IMHO, I paid $70ish and still is hard to beat in value.

Edit again: The product manual for this rack can be found through this link: https://allen.bike/pages/product-manuals
