I suggest to try to place the chainring on the inner position to reduce the chainline because another member runs a 36t cassette without problem with a Dura-ace crankset which is a rod crankset and has also a reduced chainline compared to the factory installed crankset.

The test is very easy to do: dismount the chainring from its factory external position on the crankset with its 5 bolts and remount it at the inner position. It could be needed to remove the black plastic chainring protection ring.
