Again, that’s not how clocks work. The label on an analogue clock appears at the end of the hour segment. If the hour hand is halfway between two times, it’s half past the lower one.
If, as you argue, two is at the top (like in OP’s picture), that means that when the day starts and the hour hand is pointing up then it’s already in the second hour. Half an hour later it would appear halfway between two and twelve which is an hour ahead of where it should be.
The final hour is 8, and it would be pointing at the end of that. I don’t see your problem.
