Chain climbing off Cassette

I just put a new 10 speed SRAM chain with the power link on my bike, I am using a 10 speed 105 cassette and Ultegra shifters. What I am finding is the chain wants to climb off the high gear (1st). It seems the powerlink wants to twist the chain just slightly. Once the Power link gets passed the RD and cassette, the chain settles back into the cassette... Is the Sram 10 sp chain not compatable with this set up? The power link seems to be connected properly and snaped into position.
Things that make you go Hummm....
Thanks Happy Easter!

You need to adjust the limiter screw. There are two, one for the smallest cog and one for the largest cog. I forget which way to turn the screw, in or out but it will either make the situation better or worse. You can see the derailleur moving in or out. You want the derailleur to move down towards the smallest cog.

Turn the high limiter screw in a 1/4 of a turn. That's if it's trying to go into the chain stay.
