I'm not sure haha. I'm really new to this, and I still don't have a full understanding of the gears and derailleurs.
Thanks.

If you're familiar with it and it's rubbing even after trimming, then try tightening your FD with the barrel adjuster just a smidge to get it to move a bit more to the outside with the trim.
Or...interpret the rubbing noise as a signal that it's time to shift to the big ring.
It's a triple, so technically not the small one to me, it's the middle. I am not familiar with the trim function, no. But now I have a feeling I should be. I'll try the half click thing on my ride a couple hours. Just from holding the bike up and pedaling it, that seems to have helped the problem. Thanks for that bit of info. Now I'm curious what else I'm completely oblivious too. Haha.

If it's not the problem, try getting it to your LBS so you're sure everything is correct with the settings of that front derailleur.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
