not an issue with the derailleur

I finally pulled the derailleur and put another on. It’s also a long cage derailleur, Shimano. Same issue. Can’t reach the large cog, stops right at the second to last. Definitely not the L-limit screw, and I tried adjusting the B-Screw on the Suntour but it didn't help.

I’m convinced I’ve missed something about the new hub and freewheel. Both are new additions. I didn't install the freewheel an LBS did, but I'm about to remove it. Frankly, I've never messed with these parts before. So, I'm totally lost and brushing up quickly with Zinn's guide.

I can tell I’m stretching to 126mm from 120mm when I struggle to get the wheel on, but I’ve heard that’s fine or expected. Is it that the hanger and derailleur is now pushed that much further away, thus not allowing the pulleys to reach back as far?
