Your rotor is 20mm too small or your caliper is spaced incorrectly. It is sitting too high relative to the rotor.

It looks like you have a smaller rotor than what you should have (or you have to remove/change the brake caliper adapter).
Post all of the details of what you have in terms of rotor size, brake caliper, adapters and bike frame model to be able to say more.

That’s dangerous. That top spot will bridge one day and all of the sudden you’ll have no brake.

Possible issues: the brake calipers aren’t mounted correctly and/or the brake rotor is the wrong size.
The pads should fully contact the rotors.
Your calipers are either mounted too high, so not all of the brake pad surface is making contact with the rotors, or the rotors are undersized causing the same issue.

I went and removed the spacers beneath the caliper to make it sit lower. Looks like the pad is contacting the rotor completely now
Remove an adapter on the caliper, or get a larger rotor
I don’t think the pads are the issue.
It seems the adapter is not matching your rotor size.
Thank you all! Issue fixed!
