2009 Mini Convertible S Rear Brake Pads

I ordered some Brembo ceramic rear pads that were listed as compatible with my specific vehicle. I went to install them and they were way too long. I attached a picture. The place lists them as the correct pads but they do not fit. Am I missing something here? The tabs that fit into the slots look nothing like the originals.
I did the front with no problems.
