So I started the task of replacing the rear discs and pads today. They were squeaky for the past month or so and thought it best to change.
I always noticed uneven rusting where the outer edge of the disc didn’t appear to be contacting the pad. I presumed whoever put the pads on used the wrong size. However, I noticed the pads are the right size. See the photo below of the outer radius, fully corroded, and the brake pad adjacent.
Any ideas what has caused this? Is there something wrong with my calliper assembly? With new one on, after small test drive, it appears same issue is occurring (see other photo). Close inspection of the pads makes them appear to be at slight angle with outer radius of pad further away from disc
Thanks for any help!

EDIT: I should also mention, corrosion of the outer radius of the disc is on both sides of the discs
