No. Palm facing your chest is for power and palm facing down is for ranged combo's and sometimes a position set-up for the right hand. It's probably not your form. Just make sure your pointer finger and middle finger knuckles are hitting the bag. If you're hitting middle to ring or ring to pinky that's considered bad form. You lose power and are possibly damaging your hand.
Bad gloves is a very big possibility. I would never uses Adidas gloves. The only thing Adidas I ever used in Boxing was the Adistar Boxing shoes which was awesome. I used to have a 16 oz pair Ringside for sparring and would often use them on the bags to break them in. I later got into Grant's 12 oz bag gloves for sharper angles.
I've used Reyes 16 oz bag gloves with the weight in the wrist which are awesome. But if I were you, I would get a pair of Winning brand 16 oz sparring gloves and use them on the bag. Winning provides the best protection. It comes at a price, but having good hands intact is well worth it.

Also, try a session without the pads. What we're doing you and I is deducing the problem.
