2001 Harley Sportster XL1200C - Front brake pad angled into rotor, wearing uneven

Bought a 1200C and the front brake pulses. Took off the caliper and saw one pad is wearing unevenly (shown in pics). Seated new pads following the service manual and I see there's a similar issue of the inner pad having one side very close to the rotor (shown in pics). Given the before & after, is the issue that the rotor is off? I haven't inspected or fixed a rotor for being out of alignment before, so I could use some direction on that or thoughts in general on the issue. The pins & anti rattle metal pieces looked fine to me when I inspected the caliper interior, and the pistons are the only thing I can think of besides the rotor, except those seated fine when I pressed them back in. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot. Pics: https://imgur.com/a/MktX7fs
