With the chain on the smallest cog wheel, take all the slack out of the cable (release the cable holding nut andpull the cable with a pair of pliers while tightening the nut).
Look for two small adjusting screws on the derailleur. They are detente screws (they keep the chain from falling off.)
Adjust those.
