Hub centric is preferred/recommended for proper seating (correct offset aside...).

The rotors are hub centric not bolt centric for a reason.

Your issue seems more accurately related to having wrong bolts and also installation (possibly caused by wrong bolts or further exacerbated by installer doesn't really matter bc doing correctly starts w knowing and having right parts).

Good luck
