Rear caliper carrier not aligning

[Captrollerpig]

Hi all just changing the rear discs and pads on my 172 cup using genuine discs and Brembo pads piston is all away back in, spacer on the correct way and hub nut tighten to 175nm but my carrier is not ligning up with the caliper bolt holes the outer pad and carrier is near enough touching the disc and I can’t see any other way to align the bolt holes up.

Any help as to what I’ve done wrong would be much appreciated

Have you full wound in the caliper piston?
Just double checking, I did the same thing last year

Put the carrier on first and tape the pads in from the back.

The caliper moves on its slider bolts. Pull it outward.

that piston is not fully wound in imo, should sit almost flush to body of the caliper

The caliper moves on its slider bolts. Pull it outward.

I spent about half an hour trying to figure this out when first changing the rears on the 182 ?

Managed to get it sorted now, realise that the piston wasn’t fully wound in and also the sliders were stuck so the caliper wasn’t sliding lol, i was trying to rush it ended up having some lunch and came back with a fresh head and realised my error lol

Thanks guys
