So im fighting for every centimeter of space between my bottles and the frame bag to avoid wear from the bottles rubbing against it and im looking for the bottle cage that would allow me to mount it as close as possible to the frame itself (and just a little lower). Any reccomendations?

Fidlock water bottle
Fidlock would be my recommendation, they also make a 750ml compact bottle, which is the same height as their 590ml bottles but fatter rather than taller which might help a bunch.
Initial investment is pretty high but I love mine, had them a good few years now. Don’t bother with the pull top bottles, go for the ones with the caps on top. They’re squishier and have a spout like a lucozade bottle beneath the cap.
Just a thought, maybe get rid of that cage altogether and put that bottle in a stem bag? Then you could even get a cargo cage and strap a 32 oz nalgene where the black bottle is on your seat tube? Assuming a nalgene isn’t any taller than that bottle. Did a 8-day trip about a month ago and I found having a water bottle in the stem bag was really nice. It’s right there, easily accessible.
Stop fiddling and ride
