Rear adapter clearance issue

So, it looks like the rear adapter brackets are off 2-3 mm on my car. Did anyone else have issues mounting the rear adapters? I thought at first I might have had the wrong bolts cause the body shop lost my original M12 1.5 x35mm bolts. But it looks like this is an issue with the start bolt.

The top star bolt that inserts from the car side into the Brake pad assembly will not clear the axle mount.

This was fixed by removing 2-3 mm of material from the axle with a Dremel. Just make sure you dont go into the Mounting bolt mounting face. Then ensure you smooth off cut to prevent a cracking surface.
