I had a look and the torx bolts are definitely not causing the caliper to be flush with the caliper bracket. If someone has a picture of a properly installed F-SVT brake setup, I'd love to have a look and compare to mine. Heck, at this point even a stock setup might show me what this should look like.
Also, I checked the inside pad, and you can see it, just not from the angle and light in my picture.
