Hey took me a while but I finally got around to trying one of these and it worked perfectly, thanks for the suggestion! Moving the guide over did stop the cable rubbing on the chainstay but because of the position the cable was cutting inside which reduced the tyre clearance, which is now sorted with the high rise guide.
"High rise" cable guides are indeed a thing:

Some of the Planet X frames (London Road, etc.) use them.
