Default Default Rear caliper bracket bolt too long?

Sorry for the cross post, but could use some help with this


Default Rear caliper bracket bolt too long

I had eradispeed rotors on my c5 for about a decade or longer and decided to go back to stock sized rotors. Removed the aftermarket caliper bracket and trying to install the stock caliper bracket to the knuckle but had to order stock bolts. Once I got the bolts and installed them they appear to be too long they’re digging into the rotors. What am I doing wrong ?

I see that is the correct screw part number — but do not see the correct 14080254 washer underneath it. The 14080254 is a whopping 4.2 mm thick. If the washer is there, and I’m just not seeing it, I apologize for the error.
