Yes, mine does this too. Just barely touches one of the lips on the underside of the bracket (there's actually two lips), but it's enough to be concerning for sure. In regards to using the other hole to shift the plastic cable guide over a bit - I don't think that would help in this case. If anything, it might make the situation worse by moving the RD cable to where it rubs the outside edge of the plate.
I really like Keith's solution... using something with relatively low friction like HDPE would definitely help "glide" the cable, rather than abrade the metal of the kickstand plate. Now, I need to find an old HDPE cutting board that I can chop up!
