R33 gtst disc hits caliper

Hey all,

I am in a bit of a predicament.
I installed r33 gtst calipers and disc on my s13 and after bleeding the brakes I noticed they were rubbing.
It was a long hot day, pushed the car back into the garage and called it a day
Next time I went and look what was hitting I removed to brake pads and to my suprise the disc is hitting the caliper.

I narrowed it down to 2 things
1. Caliper bolt is wrong
2. Brake disc is wrong

I added some pictures, to my understanding there wouldn't be any different bolts or whashers needed.
I already orderd different brake disc to see if that is the problem, but offcourse those are delayed













In the meantime I was wondering if any of you had the problem as Google searches result in next to nothing

Yeah I already have ordered a different set to see if it is the disc, the disc in an EBC disc so I don't know if it is just a problem with the face of the disc being to far forward.
Just surprised this is giving me problems as thousands of people already have done this and can't find anything about it haha

Garage didn't press the bearing in far enough, there is a 1 to 2mm gap inside the hub AND the snapring is resting on the hub, so it is not even in.
Stupid me thinking a garage would know how to press a bearing in 🫠

Yeah it is ironic to me that the only thing I didn't do myself went wrong, should have double checked their work
