I did check the chain width and it is correct ( it is a Shimano 10 sp chain) and I changed just the chainrings and did check the orientation. Would the chainrings or the trim have any effect on my problem? I don't see it having to do with the trim on the front derailleur because it doesn't involve shifting from one chain ring to another, it is that the chain touches the inner part of the derailleur cage when the rear cassette is on the largest gear and with the same front derailleur position when I shift the rear to the smallest gear the chain touches the outer part of the derailleur cage. Like the cage isn't wide enough or the rear cassette has to much outward/inward travel.
Hopefully I'm explaining it right, but I can't get any gap between the cage and the chain when I'm at the extremes of my rear gears (the smallest and largest gears). The chain will touch either side of the cage depending on if I'm in the smallest or largest rear gear.
