If the RD is bent such that even at full trim to the right it still can't get the next cog, I don't think it matters where you start the adjustment. I think I said up thread I've never bothered to choose the start cog specifically and it has always worked. I think the issue is the RD or the cage is bent too far inwards, even at full trim (although I didn't check that).
I'd be curious to know if my solution to go into adjustment mode on the 6th sprocket works, now that you've identified the problem :)
