Default Caliper bracket

I ordered new Power Stop calipers and got the right part according to their website (S4606A). The shop told me the caliper is fine but the mounting bracket is wrong. I called Power Stop (their customer service sucks) but they told me I could get the S4606 that has a smaller bracket but same caliper. I think the guy at the shop said the bracket was different than the one that was stock. Would a smaller bracket solve the problem?

Should I break in the new brake pads now or wait until I get the caliper bracket replaced?

Also Amazon said the rotors I bought fit (they are the ones that have the bearings go in them) but the shop said they were too small and I needed an inch or so bigger. Confused at why the two different model numbers are almost a $100 difference if the bracket is only bigger on the more expensive one (the one I bought).

Truck is 2001 RWD 2.5L manual trans, 4 wheel ABS front coil spring suspension.

This is a perfect summary of why most mechanics will not let a customer bring their own parts.
