Rear Brake Pad Replacement - 2013 Panny GTS - Please Help!

I want to replace my rear brake pads on my 2013 Panny GTS with something aftermarket. The OEM pads squeak too much and throw off way too much dust!

After much research, I bought a set of Disc Italia Titanium Kevlar pads for both front and rear. The front pads fit perfectly fine and are fantastic! No more squeaking and essentially zero dust! They are incredible!

The rear Disc Italia pads aren’t fitting according to my independent installer. He said the notch in the pad is in the wrong location.

Can someone tell me where the notch in the OEM rear brake pad should be? I’ve searched on the internet and I find conflicting evidence. On Suncoast’s website, the OEM rear pad shows the notch off to the right side of the outer part of the pad.

On Pelican’s website, they show the notch for the rear pad in the center!

The Disc Italia pads have the notch in the center, but my installer says they don’t fit and the notch is not in the correct spot. I didn’t get to see it for myself, so I have to trust that my installer is right….but is he???

Can someone please tell me where the notch is supposed to be on the rear pads for 2013 Panamera GTS?

I have to get this resolved quickly!

Thanks!
