How do you position your hand (Tablet)?

I'm wondering how everyone positions their hands while playing osu. I've had my tablet for about three months and lately, I've been feeling as if I'm holding my pen the wrong way (yes, I know this is subjective and people hold their pens differently, it's not a feeling like, "oh mrekk holds his pen this way, I must be playing wrong"). Somethign has always just felt a bit off. I hold my hand above my tablet and drag my pen.) I feel as if I shouldn't be hovering my hand, as I do not see anyone aiming this way, and it has always (physically) felt a bit weird that I position my hand like this. I also mainly use my pen to aim, as in, I don't move my hand a lot, I use my wrist to move my pen and barely move my hand at all. So what I'm wondering is how other people position their hands/how they hold their pen/how they aim, and try out different styles style to find something that might be more comfortable for me, as lately it's really been discouraging me from playing. Thanks in advance for your answers! (Pictures would be appreciated too, but don't feel obligated)

TL;DR my hand feels weird when I aim, am wondering how other people position their hands/how they aim, etc. while playing to find something more comfortable for me.

I have a relatively small tablet area (44.9mm x 34.3mm)

Hover grip, pinky is used as support. I wear tablet gloves when I play which help with friction between my pinky/hand and the tablet. I have somewhat long and slender fingers though.

This is my area because ocd.

i grab the pen and position my hand over the tablet (tablet). grabbing thicker pens is a lot more comfortable for me and i've had no problems with grip since i made the pen thicc. https://streamable.com/3fs46e

I grab my pen just like a normal pen but higher up (somewhere in the middle). I also wrapped some tennis grip on the middle of my pen which does a really good job at preventing slips at longer maps. My tablet area is 70 X 55mm.
