So, listen to your input in Reaper, use the channel meter to check your input level, and find out what gain level on the focus rite do you need to be to avoid clipping. Looking at the focusrite manual, the green LED comes on at -24 dBFS and you don't see amber until -6 dBFS, which means you can very easily have a signal already way too hot before you get the amber light. I find with my setup (using an Onyx Producer 2-2, not a focusrite) that I don't have to be much above -18 dBFS to get clipping. You want the signal going into Reaper to be around -18 dBFS (which corresponds approx to 0 dBU in old analog levels). My first guess is that the gain is a little too hot on the focusrite.
