This is only a hunch, not based on any real experience: When the chain is on the largest sprocket the pulley cage is going to be at it's most horizontal angle. It might be worth trying to add as many links to the chain as the difference in tooth count between largest and second-largest sprocket. This will lower the angle of the pulley cage and just maybe solve your problem.
