Default Adjusting front derailleur

When I'm in my 53 tooth front chain ring and 17 in the rear my chain starts to rub the front derailleur cage. I need to move the front derailleur inword a little. what adjustment would I use? All gears shift great.

Thank you
Frank

Have you tryed tightening or slackening the H / L tension screws just to push it back or allow it to move a little further forward..

if that aint the case, is it braze on or band on, if its a band on you may need to slightly twist the mech forward or backward, just to allow it the full range of movement.

i know on occassions i have to realign my front band on, on my mtb to make it run the full range.
