I"m not seeing a screw on both sides. For the Ultegra where is that?

Edited: Ultegra SL 6600-G brake calipers are supposed to have a centering bolt somewhere. When something's spring-bound, I don't want to end up with a mess. Need help!

If you get the screw in a ways and the arm is still too close, try loosening the screw on the other arm.

Edit, if you still can't get the pads centered, you can try rearranging the washers on the pads. Some pads have different sized washers that go on either side of the brake arm.
