Try knife point place. you can be about 3-5mil from the right and still cut. with the carrirage all the way to the right slide the mat with the paper on it making sure the paper is center to the blade holder and the set the knife at the front right corner of the paper. the volocity should be about 200 and force about 120 with a multi pass of three fist make sure to have your holder set properly so you can avoid draging because cutting thru mod podge and glue and chipboard will maen more force and passes needed. I would not really try to cut thru all the modge podge and glue and chip board on your first try ay this or make sapmles to try first as you don't want to ruin your project. modge podge has a tendancy to stick to the blades.
Helping where I can when I can.
