Default Brake pads.. too big?

First post. I know I know. But first lexus. (wife's car)
2016 is350 F-sport. 30k miles very easy life so far. I'm 2nd owner (previous owner had awesome gas mileage by looking at history in app) I got car at 29k

Herd metal to metal. Figured pads shot as hard to see without removing wheel. Well this what I found . Not sure if pads are cheap auto store or stock yet..

Something doesn't seem right with that pad.
My first thought was the pad was in backwards, meaning you're looking at the bottom of the pad.
The top of the pad should be flush with the edge of the rotor.
But from the shiny strip on the rotor something is definitely touching metal to metal.
