Sure looks odd. However, once the wheels are tightened down, play around the wheel studs doesn't matter. I'm assuming these are the standard rotors from a Mustang donor. I replaced mine with the Wilwood brake upgrade but I don't recall the old rotors with that much play. The center hub makes the rotor concentric so it will run a true circle.
ALL of my brand new rotors on the 33 have that much play - the FFR kit ones and the new rotors I added to my 8.8.
TBH, this looks normal to me.

The standard Mustang lugs are, I think, 14mm. Remember you replaced them w/ the 1/2 inch that came in the kit? This accounts for the difference.
