Is this normal?!

Had an axle leak fixed a week ago@75000km. Swapping rims today and I noticed the passenger rear rotor backing plate has a larger gap compared to the driver side...is it on backwards? just wondering if any1 can confirm this is normal. Thx!

I just looked at the rears on my '13. They are equal distance from the backing plate to the rotor. I measured and it was 14 mm (0.553 inches). The one with the large gap is wrong on your car.

Yeah... I'd say take it back to the shop and have them fix the issue... for free. And don't let them try and say, well it'll be fine and won't hurt anything.
