Campag 11 speed FD Setup - Again

OK, I've been trying to get this going for a while and can’t seem to get there. Campag Centaur 11 speed groupset, brandy new.

Initially, the cable hit the derailleur, so I ordered the little clip (FD-CE011). The clip got the cable off the derailleur, but just barely.

No matter what I do, this derailleur doesn't seem to have enough throw over to the big chain ring. It shifts onto the big ring in 3 clicks, but just barely, 4 clicks might do it, but I don't get 4 clicks or know if I should. The high limit stop is not preventing further movement. When in big ring and small gear, the chain rubs and I can't seem to adjust. I have not tried to adjust cable while in big ring, little gear. Maybe I should, although I would think this will just move the issue to the inner ring?Initial set up is on the inner ring, attach cable, pull tight, set limit screw to ~.5 mm clearance between chain and inner cage. At this point cable seems tight, i.e. tugging it moves derailleur without slop.

Also, the FD CE011 clip has a notch that locates on the derailleur arm tab, and I've routed the cable over the arm on the FD-CE011 clip as that seems correct. However, this makes the cable stick out horizontally, so it will need to be trimmed pretty short to avoid crank arm. Does this seem correct?

Any thoughts on what I’m missing here, this can’t be this hard. Laughing...

Thanks for any help.
