Might I suggest Park Tool's rear derailleur adjustment procedure? Follow the process from A to Z, without skipping, and it'll get you shifting well more often than not.

Yes... it is haha! No offense taken, I'm just completely inexperienced at this kind of work. The chain is actually clicking at the top of the smallest cog - not at the bottom, where I'm guessing a misaligned derailleur would pull the chain into the next cog from below. Hopefully I'm making sense.
