Acura TL Type S Front Brake Calipers Hitting Inner Rim

Hi everyone. New poster here so I apologize if I messed something up.
I took both of my front wheels off of my car to change the Brembo brake pads but, to take the pads out, I opened the caliper instead of taking the whole thing off as one piece.

Also note....if just replacing pads on the Brembos, just pull the pins out, slide the old pads out, and drop new ones in. No need to remove the caliper at all.
