Is this rubbing normal? Tension is equal and still working on making sure the pads reach properly.
Thank you!

Weird that this is meant to be specifically designed for wide tires but has such short arms. My bet is the design works with whatever Sunday use for post width (between seat stays in your case) but that frame is a bit wider, which moves the cable end “seats” closer to the centreline of the frame, as it pushes the pivot point outward. It’s not ideal given BMX brakes are not the best to begin with.
Edit. From what I can see, Sunday do tuck the lug mounts inward so that would offer better clearance where you have issues. Does it rub on both sides?
Looks like you could give more slack on the the cable which would put the arms closer to the tires. Then add spacers if you will to the inside of the pads do put them closer to the wheel. That way when you pull the brakes, the arms dont have to travel as far causing them to rub.
My guess is you need more brake cable. Once you give it some slack you will need to adjust the brake pad spacers to bring the pads closer to the rim.
