Exclamation Front brake help

05 Ram 2500 4x4.

I am trying to install NAPA Premium rotors and calipers along with EBC Greenstuff pads.

The caliper will not line up with the two bolt holes. It seems it needs to raise another inch.

The pads are installed with the little black thingy on the inner pad at the top.

(In case the pads need to be orientated a certain way.)

On the pass side we have the sheetmetal clip with two fingers at the top and the drivers side with nthe three fingers at the top.

The one hour brake job is currently on hour 4...........

ANY help would be appreciated!

Do you still have the old calipers? If so do the holes look to be in the same locations? Just wondering if they gave you the wrong hardware.

Thanks guys for the help, but we figured it out.
The sheetmetal fingers had to be "tweaked" so the calipers could go under them.
Now we are all set.
