Show me a pic of the rotor side wheel spacer...
Me thinks they are mixed up... the one with the flared outer part should be at the rotor.
PS.. gotta' do a couple errands... be away for an hour...
...

OK another theory. There is a lockwasher and a washer for each of the two bolts holding the caliper bracket on the fork slider. Currently I have the lockwasher on one side of the fork slider and the washer in between the fork slider and the caliper bracket. Do both lockwasher and washer go on the same side?

Ive got a washer between the carrier and the fork. Is that washer supposed to be on the outside with the lockwasher?

that's the carrier rubbing. should be no way to do that.
look at the carrier and fork, shouldn't be anything between, no air gap.

By Gumby,.. I think you've got it...
Did you see this?... both washers on the outside...
(now,... pretty up those fancy rotors again before you put it all back together)...

I had #17 in between the carrier and the fork slider and #16 inbetween the bolt and fork slider. I moved the washer #17 over with #16 and that solved the problem. Axle tight and no rubbing. Now I have to go repaint the rotor.
Thanks everyone for the help. Go Team!!

Lock washer under the bolt head then then flat washer underneath that. The caliper bracket goes straight on the inside of the forks.
BTW in the pic that shows the pads, you put the pad that was previously on the piston side on the opposite side. You always wanna put the pads in the same spot they were before, unless you use new ones. They are "broken in" so to speak. If you swap them, you can run into issues as they do not wear identical one both sides. They may appear the same in most cases, but not 100%.
It shows the piston imprint circle on the back plate, so it was on the other side previously.

The old pads are only there while I am taking the wheel off and on so much, I have new pads going in during final assembly.

Did you put the washers between the caliper and the fork mount instead of between the fork mount and the head of the blots??? If did that on mine I would get the result you have. Looks like the caliper is too far to the right of the left fork.
