Disc and rotor you need to set the axle position with the brakes pressurised, the disc moves out a fraction when pressurised.
The others I guess there could be a tolerance issue on the wheels, or if more than one FB model the brake o ring has been produced with a fractionally thicker wall. Skimming the wheels on a lathe would be the only solution...BUT never try and run in tight brakes, heat just makes it worse and one wheel jamming you risk a turn off the runway you can’t control, or worse into the pilot box.
