These are pictures of my stock cable positions before installing new ones. Looks like you have yours wrong. Top one goes to the outside mount. If the reroute doesn't solve the problem my best guess would be the cables are not adjusted properly. But if you're sure you're doing the adjustment correctly I guess the problem is somewhere else.
