These bodies usually do not have a lot of unwanted torsional play, but test, don't guess.
I would be tempted to do as I did for my earlier unit, and move the jockey cage to the jockey cage next spring tension port, the aim is to increase the spring tension throughout, makes for snappier shifts.

Otherwise, the same guidance applies, adjust the hangar to insure its perpendicularity to the wheel, (even if using a claw, and especially if using one).
