Default Break Pad Placement With Shim

Hi all,

Could anyone just confirm that the arm of the rear brake pads are supposed to sit into the green area of the shim and not the red one?




Doing the rear pads for the first time myself and I'm not sure of the placement regarding the shim.

Thanks in advance

Just checked the existing shims on the vehicle and the pad arms definitely slot into the green highlighted area - and these have never been changed before so this is how the car came!
