Default Rear brake issues need help

Well guys I was taking the wheel off my crossbones and when I pulled the rear wheel off the spacers went everywhere. But lookin at my brothers crossbones I got them back in. From left to right its the longest spacer wheel second longest spacer. Caliper mount small spacer then the nut and washer on the outside of the swing arm. Anyway it appears that my brake rotor is just rubbing the inner side of the caliper mounting racket where the pads rest. Does anyone have this issue. It seems like there is no space between them and with my bike all back together I can hear a slight metal on metal noise. It's not terrible but it's there. Does anyone know what my issue can be. ? It still coasts fine. It's not like it's acting like the brakes are on. Just wondering if I should be worried

Small spacer goes between the wheel bearing and caliper and caliper butts up to swing arm.
