I also have long fingers, but I've always played with my hands "low." It has never been a problem for me, but as Karl said, "everyone's hands are different, which is what makes the rules some player-teachers lay down about hand positions so 'iffy.'" If a pad on the top of the G#/Ab key helps you, there's nothing wrong with it.
Your question immediately made me think about saxophone palm keys. Various types of palm key risers are frequently used by sax players, and these risers make it much easier to hit the highest notes (my alto has the rubber "slide on" type). I'm not aware of any company that makes a similar product for clarinet keys.
