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!

Sometimes the **** on the pads are not correctly aligned. Suggest removing and reinstalling is the solution.
