Adjust Front Derailleur
I know this should be really easy but I cant figure it out.
I have 105 front Derailleur with RS505 Hydraulic shifters. The cables run through the frame. On the exposed cable, I don't see any barrel adjuster to twist and make fine adjustments.
What am I missing?

Do you know if this is a 105 5800 FD (with the long arm) or 105 5801 FD? On the 5800, you would most likely need to add an in-line adjustment barrel somewhere between the lever and the derailleur for fine adjustments. The 5801 is an updated versions that uses the same mechanics as the new R7000/8000/9100. On those, there is an cable adjustment screw built directly into the front derailleur itself.

It must be the 5800. It is on a 2018 Scott Speedster Gravel. I don't se any adjustment on the Derailleur, just the wire going under the locking screw.
I just picked it up from the bike shop, from having them adjust it for a bike fitting I did. Get it home and the front derailleur is rubbing. It's a busy week for me and would be easier for me to make adjustment than take back to shop later this week. Oh well.

Have you checked to see if you have the inline adjustment barrels? I'm pretty sure Scott would have installed those on the bike. I did a quick image search, and it looks like the bikes I saw had them installed. Don't forget to check the limit screws as they could also be a source of rubbing as well.
Kind of hard to see in this pic, but there is one on the shift cable coming out of the left/front shifter. It doesn't appear this one has one for the rear, which is fine since it has it's own adjustment barrel.
