... figured it out

The RD and hanger are fine.

Turns out that I didn't have enough initial cable tension on the rear derailleur when it was in the relaxed position (largest rear cog for Rapid Rise). Consequently,...

Thanks for your responses. Do you think the rear derailleur capacity is limited to 27 (or 29) regardless of the chainrings I use up front? If I used a smaller gap between the biggest and smallest...
