Not sure what If what I’m seeing is correct, but if the cable housing is close to the cable pinch bolt it will limit cable travel, there needs to be a length of exposed cable equal to or more than desired travel, the cable housing does/should not move when pulling the cable…..
Be sure all cables pull dead on straight……adjust brackets as necessary to achieve straight pull…..if the cables angle you get premature wear on the parts, cable acts like a file…..I see wear/ovaling in some of these photos…..not sure if that is on yours or someone else’s reference photo….…
