Default Caliper pistons not 100% on pad

Just got my jeep a week ago and was going thru the truck today. Noticed the pistons on my calipers only touch the pads about 2/3rds of the way. I searched and only one thread with no answers came up. Here is a picture of what it looks like.



Uncertain if the calipers are from a different year XJ and aren't working right or what. Any answers are appreciated. I can tell it affects braking some and don't want to drive it until this is solved. Just doesnt make sense because everything seems to be right and where it should be except this. Thanks very much.
