My chain is skipping when applying force on the pedals when on the smallest clog only. Chain and clogs are new and the freewheel seems to be ok.
Derailleur doesn’t touch anything but is very “compressed”.
Could it be the chain being too long? Or something else?
Thanks for your help!

Derailleur arm shouldn’t be contacting chain in smallest cog.

Too long for sure.
Thank you everyone I will shorten it! Hopefully it fixes the problem.
What does the chain look like when you turn on the clutch? EDIT: I’m wrong about this.
Take a double link out of the chain and while you’re at it have a closer look at the cog that makes the chain jump. Maybe a misalignment?
No, it’s perfectly fine, just don’t ride the bike, walk it
