Part of the pad not touching the rotor 14 1LE

Hello, I got my new 14 1LE a few months ago, I haven't had time to drive it all that much but I have noticed that the left front rotor and pad don't have 100% contact. I had this happen with other cars after changing the pads and rotors but usually its at the top of the rotor or the bottom that don't come into 100% contact and it must wear in, not the middle. What and how can the pad touch the whole rotor but a perfect strip in the middle?? Any ideas?? See in the pic below. Thanks all.

I took the wheel and caliper off today, There was a grove in the pad. I sanded it down quite a bit and took it for a ride and abused the brakes pretty good, the lines still there but im sure it will wear down soon if not off to the dealer I go!!
