It’s the stop bolt that’s is adjustable by loosening the jam nut (out of the picture) at the base. The wire looks correct to me? (righty tighty) In my opinion the pigtail is not all to blame here. The wire bundle has no business being unsecured and rubbing against a component like that. Another thing, when did we stop wrapping wire bundles with anti-chafe tape?
I understand all ERJ aircraft at my airline got inspected immediately and none were found with this situation.

The ERJ has complete fly-by-wire elevators, ailerons are are mechanical however so you have that going for you.
