it will be fine. your rear shifter cable will snap before this one.

If you notice it fray any more, change it.

The cable needs to be under the tension bolt

It looks OK, but the cable tightening screw is all the way in. Hopefully you also have an inline cable adjuster.

There is no need for an inline cable adjuster with these derailleurs
