You need to have one more tile of flat ground on either side of your highway - eg there should be the highway, one tile of ground at the same height, then the hill can start. This will flatten out the elevated pieces of the transition, which are meant to be placed on flat ground.

Don't we all?

You need to use the on-slope transitions. That will do the job.

What is on-slope transitions?

I think it's important to first establish which overpasses you are trying to use here, these look like the Draggable Elevated Road Viaducts, but please confirm this. One thing to bear in mind here, all these menu options feature a TAB-Ring, this means there is more than once piece which you can cycle through either forwards or backwards using TAB or SHIFT+TAB respectively.

 

When you select the overpasses you get the elevated road piece like you have placed in the screenshot. If you are using the draggable versions you will need the extra tile of space on both sides of the RHW as previously mentioned. Place two of these straight sections, ensuring you use the correct height versions (either 7.5 or 15m pieces are available) on either side of the highway (edit: you'll probably need to delete the RHW and replace it afterwards to do this).

 

Next drag a road over the highway between these two pieces, but do not drag the roads through the starter pieces towards the embankments.

 

Then use the TAB-Ring to find the correct Flexible on-slope pieces (L1 is 7.5m, L2 is 15m) and place these on the embankments so they fit next to the existing elevated road. Again at no point drag roads through these on-slopes or you'll have to start again.

Yeah, use the draggable elevated viaducts. They are a lot easier to work with than the old puzzle pieces. And plus, you can now cross over an RHW at 7.5 meters, instead of an unrealistically-high (in most cases) 15m.
