Will the rotor turn? That gap will disappear as soon as you bleed the brakes.

It doesn't look like that's a floating caliper; it looks like it's hard mounted to the bracket.

I agree, however without better pictures it's difficult to get an accurate understanding...

A four piston caliper is not a floating caliper. Because it is not a floating caliper you can't just bleed the brakes. If you do, as the brake pads wear the inner caliper pistons will over extend and possibly leak. I agree with biddle that you should contact the seller of the part.
