Its an easy front derailleur fix

set your chain on the small chain ring, tighten the cable on your shifter (little screw where the cable comes out), and eyeball your chain in the chain guide...it should be in the middle (sounds like it may be a little off centre, probable a little to the right)

If it is off, loosen the cable, pull back on the Derailleur until the chain is centered, then tighten the cable. should be ok...the cable has probably stretched and you will need to re-centre the chain guide

takes 2 minutes

you can also tighten the cable with that little screw on the housing at the front shifter, but i prefer adjusting the cable at the FD so that i still have some room to adjust if the cable stretches a little more
