Disk Brake Positioning

I recently discovered that my rear disk is rubbing against the brake pads and I cannot for he life of me figure out how to fix it. I have bog standard shimano mechanical disks and callipers, but for some reason the disk has started rubbing heavily against the static inside pad. I have tried adjusting the inside screw to move the pad away from the disk but it doesn't go far enough.
Looking at it, i don't think I could have possibly bent the calliper or the even the rear stays, but for some reason it's started rubbing. I recently removed my cassette and tightened the lockring up a fair bit tighter since it seemed rather loose, but I don't see how this could have caused the problem. Can anyone enlighten me as to how this has happened or what I can do to fix it because it's annoying me.

your wheel may not be seated correctly.
check that first.
if ok then have a look at re aligning the calipers."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I've tried reseating the wheel, but it's fine... how do i realign the callipers, do i need some kind of spacer to put in between the calliper and the frame?0
