STOP
Your FD is likely fine, but you clearly have no idea of what you're doing. (Sorry, but IMO a harsh truth is better than letting you blunder until you damage the FD).
Read or watch a few tutorials on adjusting front derailleurs until you have a good sense of what's involved. Limits don't do anything except (as the name implies) set the outer range of motion, It's the cable and spring that move it.
BTW- the same rules apply to rear derailleurs, but the consequences of uninformed adjusting can be much more serious, so don't make adjustments until you understand the implications.
