Some set back could be good, when the pedal is at the 3 o'clock position your foot has moved 7.5mm back, raising the height negated some of this but hardly any if you only went up a tiny bit. The old standby of dropping a plumb from your knee to the spindle is still a good indicator of how your seat setback is and if you should move it.
