Might need to check if your caliper is mounted properly, is there any adapter being used?

Recommended 160 rotor is rt54. There are 2 different types of Shimano rotor based on depth of pad

Your caliper has “narrow” pads, your rotor is designed for “deep” pads. Totally fine, much better than the opposite combination. You’re still getting full pad contact, just some excess rotor

Mtb rotor on road bike brakes or wrong size

It’s a narrow pad on a wide brake rotor. It works fine, but not ideal because it’ll wear a groove along the brake surface. Once you wear out the pads, I’d suggest changing pads and rotor together, to a narrow + narrow model
