Looking down over the brake, I can see that the right side has 1mm clearance but the left side is touching the rotor.
I'm only guessing that it's the same as hydro discs...

Loosen caliper bolts. Squeeze brake lever and hold. Tighten caliber bolts (progressively). Release brake lever.

BTW - The kids are calling those bikes "gravel bikes" now.
