DIY Rear Brake Job

Hello-

I did my rear brakes on my 2011 MCS. This was my 1st time doing my own brakes. I looked at a couple of good write ups on how to perform the job from this forum. Everything seems to be fine, however, the pads on the driver's side rear are not making contact with all of the rotor. The passenger side pads are making contact with all of the rotor. I have attached pictures to show what I'm speaking of. If anyone has any advice or has experienced this, please let me know what I need to correct. Thanks in advance!

It's like you have the slightly larger JCW rear disc installed on the one not making full contact.

Did someone mix up the part?

Rotors came directly from ECS Tuning, pads and sensors came from dealership.
