Adjust the B-screw for clearance while on the biggest cog, then check it across the cassette; on occasion it will need to be readjusted to clear all of the cogs. This will often occur in a situation like yours where a cassette with a wider range is fitted. The cage moves down and over at an angle optimized for a certain cassette tooth range and a different range may necessitate a different adjustment to clear.
