Loosening controls
If you look at the handlebar parts fiche on Max BMW, it looks like the clamp bolts might be under the switches.

I don't know about your RT but on my 09 GS you can't turn the switch/grip assemblies without modifications. The left side is fixed by screws located in the handle bar (which is tapped). I tried but I wasn't going through all that trouble.
And yes, you have to remove half of the electrical switch gear to get to the pinch screws

I'm always looking for ways to get the wrists square with the forearm.

And it's a given that BMW provides a way to do this.
On my 09 r1200rt the clamp is under the plastic covers of the switch gear.
There is 1 phillips screw from front side and 1 phillips screw on the underside.
Once they are out crack open the plastic cover and you will see the allen screws for the clamp.
On my bike I did not find a pin/hole/screw combo that only alowed one fixed position.
Only interference with bar riser and switch gear/brake line banjo bolt limited the rotation.
