That makes sense that the pads were too thick, and causing bad fitment. I would suggest taking care of your issue yourself because you might be wasting time waiting for any other companies to send you the same bad batch of pads from China. I would clamp them in a drill press clamp, and cut the back side down until you have your desired thickness. You could use a wood router or any other cutting tool that suits you. Then you just have to round out the ends to fit the bracket.
