Not sure but the only way I could think of to get around it was with that bit of cable.
That's because the derailleur is top-normal, and the spring pushes the cage outwards towards high gear and against the high limit screw. You don't really need the low limit screw to do this, however, the high limit screw needs to be long enough to push the derailleur cage inward sufficiently to align with your cog. You may need to go to the hardware store and find a longer screw of the same size to do this.
