Before reading tutorials, and there are many good ones. Take a moment to understand Principles of FD-101.
First, alignment and height are critical, so start here.
2- limit screws are just that. They control the outer and inner limits of FD travel, but do not actually control the FD. But there's a catch, the inner limit also controls the innermost chainring trim because the cable is slack in that condition.
3- trim and shifting are a function of cable trim. It's always easier if there's some sort of adjusting barrel, so if non is built into the cable stop, buy yourself an inline adjuster.
Lastly a hint, that some tutorials don't offer. Adjust the limits while shifting by pulling directly on the cable rather than the lever. This prevents the index positions from sending you false cues. Then when the limits are set, adjust trim for good shifting and running in gear.
I won't go into details because the tutorials cover those well, and wish you good success.
