Sram X1 RD rubbing

Evening
Been trying to index and adjust the above RD on Stumpjumper. Few years old and needs some tlc
Noticing that the cage rubs past the plastic pivot point where the cable connect into the RD and around that arc. The bolt that holds the cable in is part of the arc and can only go in one position so I really cant understand why the cage rubs past it when going up the cassette
Any ideas?
Thanks

    A little bit confused with the description. I think a pic or two would help make the issue clearer.

    sorry, a pic always helps. in fact I have just realised it might not an issue as the cage is always under tension and going outbound, so it shouldn't matter. Only occurs in the highest gear when tension is at it's lowest

    the cage rubs and scrpes past this plastic pivot that holds the cable, but only noticeable in the highest gear

    Looking at this video, maybe your chain is slightly too long causing the cage to be high enough to contact at that point? 🤔

    cheers. not sure about this issue, but like I say I dont think it'll be a problem when under tension. I will check chain length later on

    thanks again
