MRP kit came in, in fact wouldn't have worked with my version of the hub. Their rotor shim is plastic, which in my mind is sort of cheesy.

The Solo Air used a Shimano SM-MA-F203P/P adaptor. It's clearly not the correct one for the 2020 Lyrik Ultimate FS-LYRK-ULT-C3, caliper winds up a few mm towards the rim of the disk.
I think I recall that the wrench who set up the bike originally did some fiddle-fucking around - It worked, but I'm not sure it was properly installed. I may wind up wandering into my LBS for some assistance.
Brakes are Shimano XT, 203mm rotors, ca. 2013.

So question at hand is what would be the correct adapter?
My 2014 Pike is 160mm PM, so I used 20mm PM adapters for the 180 rotors.
I think the Lyrik is 180mm PM, you might not need the adapter if that's a 180mm rotor?
edit: Reading is hard, you've got 203mm rotors. Take a picture as I'm not visualizing your caliper misalignment. But I'm guessing if your old adapter was for 160PM forks and the new fork is 180mm PM, you've pushed the caliper too far outboard.
SHIMANO F203P/PM DISC BRAKE ADAPTOR might be what you need.

Is the caliper too close, or too far? If too close, just shim it.
Ordered a Shimano SM-MA-F203P/PM adapter from Jenson. Rationale is that fork is designed for a 180mm rotor.
Too far.
Then file it down a tad.
Were I to do that, I'd have it milled. I'd prefer to have something that a competent engineer has considered, so if I can purchase the right thing, I will.Then file it down a tad.

If competent engineering is what you're after, mountain bikes may not be for you.
