Before you go chasing down the derailleur rabbit holes, make sure you are using a bottom bracket with the correct length spindle. Install your crank and rear wheel with your intended cassette. Then lay a yardstick across the center ring and the centerline of your cassette. Verify that the yardstick lies parallel to the centerline of the bike. I'm betting that your spindle is too long for the new crankset.
