Rear pads wearing funny?!?

Well did a brake job on my 00 civic sir a few weeks ago. Done brakes a million times so it was a breeze! Anyways I was working on the back end and noticed some rust on the new left rear rotor (inside). So I took the caliper off and did an inspection and found that the inner pad was only making contact with half the surface.When I checked the other side I found it doing the same thing , not nearly as bad maybe not making contact with less then 25% of the pad . Everything is sitting properly, the pins moves easily and the calipers "seem" to operating well.
Anyone else have something like this or similar happen?



*The red portion is where the pad is not making contact.

You don't have the slot in the caliper piston lined up with the pins on the pads. Seen it a million times.
