If the jockey wheel is hitting the cog it's too close. Shortening the
chain is IMO the main way of rotating the cage so the jockey wheel
position os farther from the cog. Then you have to see if operation
over the rest of the range is acceptable. If it's not, you might need
a different dérailleur.
There is always the option, in addition to all other suggestions, of
reversing the B screw to get some extra separation...
That's what I did on the Bombadil first and now the Atlantis to be
able to run a rear 12-36 with an XT Rapid Rise RD.

You've exceeded the capacity of the derailleur.
You said it was rated at 38t, and you have 43t total. The behavior you
describe is expected. Well, expected by me. Other people may have
differing ideas of how rear derailleur capacity is stated.
The top left section of this page discusses it:

The capacity is rated at 38t. I'm using a 24/36/48 and 13/32 FW for 43
total. The issue I'm having is when in the 24t rin
