Default Z06 Brake Pad Issues

2017 Z06 with 200 miles on the odometer. I was cleaned the car today and this is what I saw. Does this look normal or had anyone this problem. These pictures are from the front wheels.

Thank you, I should have been more precise with my post, I am concerned how close the pads are to the rotor hubs on both sides.

It's fine. The pads are placed within the caliper by two pins that slide through holes in the backing plates. There's really no way for them to shift or move off of those pins. You can see one of them in your second picture.
