I'd go about it differently.
First I'd loosen the pinch bolt on the cable and see if the lever arm can be pushed back to make the pad retract to stop it rubbing.
If it can and it does, I'd then re-tighten the cable when it's in that position.
After that I'd play around with the inner pad adjuster and maybe the barrel adjuster to see if it could be fine tuned any better.
As the brake is currently attached on the outer most position that the mounting bolts will allow and the rotor looks to be close to the outer side of the caliper, I wouldn't make any adjustment with the mounting bolts unless it's needed, the only way the caliper can move from it's current position is inwards and moving the caliper inwards will move the rotor closer to the outer pad and outer side of the caliper.
If the outer pad can't be moved any further from the rotor or moved enough to stop it rubbing, there must be something else going on and I can't see any adjustments of the caliper mounting bolts, the barrel adjuster, the inner pad or the cable changing that.
Yes, constant rub. The rotor does not seem bent.
