Rotors are not all the same size. Neither are hubs. Trying a different rotor is cheaper than a different hub though so that’s what I would go for.

Is there supposed to be an end cap or something where the axle inserts into the rotor? It seems when I tighten down the axle, it bends the frame towards the disc brake causing rub. It seems like there should be something between the frame/disc brake to prevent that but not sure.
Did that wheel come with the bike? Could be a somewhat narrower hub than what the bike needs. “The most common hub spacing standard for road bikes is 100/130mm for quick releases, while for mountain bikes is 110/142mm thru-axle. However, there are also other hub spacing standards, such as 12x142mm, 15x135mm, and 12x150mm.” Your bike may need the 12×150.
