Update: bought 80 grit sand paper and sanded them down the tiniest bit, about 3 minutes of light sanding on each pad, mostly focusing on even pressure. Barely a visible difference on the thickness, maybe a millimeter, but now they fit! I now have pads that are probably about 8.5mm thick and they're perfect! To be honest, I'll probably do this again, because they were so cheap and thicker than the FA106/2 pads, plus ceramic!

To whomever may read this in the future, make sure to do this outside and with a good filter over your mouth/nose. It was very dusty, and the dust is still harmful even if it's not asbestos pads.
