info that will help us find a solution:
Cassette brand, gear count, and small/large gear Tooth count
bike brand and model
Chain brand and model number
rear derailleur exact model number (like:RD- M591, etc...found on back side of Der. )
Rear Der, Cage Length.. (SG, SGS, etc) or your best guess
Shifter Exact model number(found on underside)...
Cable age, Cable housing age and type (stranded or coiled case, note any rust or cracking)
General age and condition of bike.
Who did the work you mention in your post, and their skill level.
without this info, all you'll get is best guesses, more confused, unrelated rat holes, a possible argument or two, and a few fun anecdotes.
Thanks.
