Exclamation Re: Slider bolt problems

Well, I see what the problem is now. When I put the new slider boots, bolts, and caliper all back together on the car the Lock bolt (not the guide bolt at bottom; both bolts are the slider bolts) is for some reason not going in all the way leaving the caliper sitting lop sided. If I look down from the top of the caliper groove along the disc I can see the disc actually touching the caliper itself and not the pads. I have the pistons retracted all the way in so I know that isn't it.

I don't know what else to do, but to remove it all again and this time not fasten/secure/clip the slider rubber boots into place until the caliper seems to have set right. Its as if air is trapped behind the lock bolt and it cannot get out.
