Try a thinner strap, that looks like thick seatbelt material. You could also use a thinner springbar, but make sure the tips are not loose in the holes. But don't go crazy with it, you will get sick of the Nato strap pretty quickly anyway.
Try curved springbars. My local Omega boutique provided me with some for a NATO strap (different watch) and they solved that problem. The only issue is that since they’re bent, they might not be as structurally sound as a straight springbar.
I asked Omega, and they said “What kind of watch do you have?", obviously I couldn't say "It's for my Rolex", so I told them "Omega Speedmaster", and they said "curved springbars won't fit on that watch".

Amazon has a ton of curved spring bars, they are pretty generically made. You can probably find them on whatever your local equivilent is (AND not pay the Omega tax for them).
I have the same watch and I DO NOT recommend curved springbars with a nato. They are fine with a regular strap. With a nato the bar will pop out easily as there is more lateral force on the bar and the pin goes in the hole at an angle when curved.Also, try a 19mm strap because 20mm is too wide for the watch IMHO. it looks way better.
Probably TMI: I curve my own bars because the ones you purchase are more heavily curved and you only need a bit of a bend.
