I didn't mean to imply that the OP has brifters. The OP seems inexperienced. I can remember being very inexperienced. I didn't realize the left Tiagra shifter had the ability to trim the front derailleur until I had owned the bike for some time. I was only attempting to point out that some shifters have a feature to "trim" the front derailleur and my experience happens to have been with two 9 speed brifters. Wouldn't it be terrible for the OP to play with cable length if his shifters have that? Friction? Do you really think the OP would be asking how to change the position of the front derailleur while over the middle chain ring if he has a friction shifter? It also seems a little presumptuous to tell him to live with it without knowing more.
