Default Bolt Broke on Break Caliper

so yesterday,

the bolt that connects the break caliper and caliper bracket snapped yesterday. so today i bought a new passenger caliper bracket and found a bolt but the bolt is "too long" by 2-3 threads we are guessing because it sticks out a little.

by it sticking it, will it be safe or no? should i go and find a saw to cut it down 2-3 threads or leave it in? help me out.. can't drive my car with new PIC Performance coilovers until i get this resolved.

why not just put some washers on it to fill the gap if you are too lazy to go to the junkyard and get a bolt?

Just make sure it's not touching the rotor. I had lost that bolt n found one but it was a little longer it end up touching the rotor and it wouldn't want to move then I put a washer it fixed the problem
