As others have pointed out, a cable/housing swap should not involve *any* adjustments to the derailleur itself. May be too late but I hope you let the FD be...
My guess is you don't have enough cable throw to get the FD onto the big ring. Some things that could be: - Shifter cable housing with internal damage so that it deflects/compresses too much under tension - Too much slack while in the small ring - Incorrectly re-assembled shifter so shifter doesn't move to longest possible throw position. (I've done that on a Shimano bar end, where I installed the mating washer at a 90 degree offset. I don't know if that's possible on yours though.) - Incorrectly mounted shifter cable on front derailleur, reducing the leverage on the FD arm. (Joe B. pointed it out, but for me looking at your photos it seems to be routed correctly. You didn't give the model number on your FD so guessing it's a CX-70 or equivalent. Here's the instructions with a picture showing the cable routing to the FD: https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/si/SI-5MW0A-002-ENG.pdf.)
