Dengfu E10 Frame with RD-M8000

[Bafangrider]

Hi Guys,

I'm currently building up a Dengfu E10. Im a little stuck with my derailleur. It doesnt look like its in the right position as the cable entry seems pretty close to the frame. Am I doing something dumb here?

I will let you know, I am almost to the point on mine, and I am no expert. Did you ever get an answer or figure it out?
Cheers, Mike
