Default Front left brakes need help

Hey everyone, so I am kinda stumped on this..... I am preparing for the track next weekend and I am having some weird wear I have no experienced before.

I installed new Hawk HP+ pads on all four corners on the car. Now I am receiving weird wear on the left front corner. I have put about 100 miles on the pads so far. id also really like to not have to invest in a new set of pads at this moment. unless I have to.

any and all input is appreciated I really need to get this figured out asap


The picture shows I am receiving no wear or even any contact at all on the upper 50% of the rotor.

Piston on the skew?
Sliders are greased and slide as they should.

Bracket can be bent. Pull the rotor, look at the other side

I fixed it. It's the dumbest thing ever. The pad was on the wrong side.
