1. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Since "it changes perfectly on and off the center ring" I'd leave it alone.
2. Every front derailleur adjustment affects the subsequent adjustments. If you decide to fiddle with it my advice is to disconnect the shift cable and start from the very beginning as if you are installing the derailleur for the first time. Park Tool has a good set of step-by-step instructions. Follow them in sequence.
Good luck.
Yeah. F.D adjustments are annoying there's no fine adjust for cage rotation nor height. Both have to be set precisely at the same time - frustrating when shifting only optimally performs in a very narrow range for both. Ugh.
