Rear rotor question/help

Hello I purchased rear cross drilled rotors to replace solid rotors. When mounting the new rotors they do not go back completely up against the rear hub. There is about 2-3cm gap between the of the rotor and the hub. The brake calipers/bracket, pads and parking brake all mount with no hang up or binding. The only thing I notice is that there isn't as much space as before on the hub for the rear rims to mount. The rims do mount ok but would like it to fit as it did before. Has anyone had this happen or if I'm missing something or a step please feel free to let me know.

Why would holes in the rotor make any difference? My rear rotors have holes ...

Mine has the AMG package with cross drilled rotors all around - how do you tell if it has the heavy duty brake package? Or are these AMG specific?

Is this the 340 mm v 360 mm question? I think you see two different rear rotor sizes in parts catalogs ...
