Did you change the disc to a smaller size than the original? Of not the lip might indicate your calliper wasn’t aligned correctly. There are 2 screws holding your calliper to your frame, by unscrewing them you should be able to adjust the height of your calliper and get the pads to cover the disc completely.
You can carefully trim the lip with sharp knife or file it down, but in your case I would consider replacing the pads as there doesn’t seem to be much left. The minimum thickness of the pads is about 1 mm.

Looks like the caliper is too high and the pad is sitting partially above the rotor. What bike is this from? A pic of the setup would help.

Those are SRAM pads; did we change from elixir or juicies (which require CPS washers) to levels which don’t? Alternatively, use an adapter with CPS washers on a set of levels?
