Rear Caliper rubbing the disc, suggestions?

Hey all, i recently replaced the rear calipers as well as the pads. About 2 weeks afterwards I started hearing a grinding metal on metal sound when i would make wide left hand turns. I inspected the rear and saw the irregular 1/2 inch wear pattern shown in the pic below. Appears that the top portion of the caliper is rubbing the disc when i make turns like this. I have been slowing down much more and making slow turns since to control this but i would like to get this fixed. Suggestions? Thanks

this cant be THAT rare of an occurence, nobody has had this happen or at least here of it? Im about to reassemble it here in a bit just to check it out. I though of maybe just filing it down a tiny bit where it is making contact with the disc? Idk we'll see i guess
