These sort of handles usually have a stop in each handle. If you've

Remove the fixing screws and turn the handle so the latch is fully
retracted. Mark new screw holes with a pencil, drill pilot holes and
fix. Do the same both sides.


Looks a bit daft with rectangular escutcheons!

True. You'd then be down to dismantling the handle and filing down the
stop.
