Front Caliper Bracket Bolts Too Long? - Wrong Rotor

Just received my rotors from IAP. The back went great, the front however is not going well. My bracket bolts are long enough to touch my rotor. Which is not good. Did they send me the wrong rotor? Has anyone else had this issue? I can't find any info on it through the 'search' function.

The front and back rotors are the same. Maybe a washer left out?

Good news. After hours of rage, lol, I realized that I mixed in sone extra bolts from another rear end I have. Figured they were the same. But closer inspection revealed a tiny difference in length.

The long bolts are for the rear axle and the shorter bolts are for the front. On the front the bolt passes through a thin stamped steel caliper carrier bracket. On the rear the bolt passes through a thick metal flange on the axle.
