Nissan Maxima 1995 brake pad/caliper problem?

Ok the procedure is to place the hardware and pads into the torque menber that is bolted to the steering knuckle with the rotor on the front hub studs then drop the caliper over the pad torque member rotor and place the 14mm bolts into the caliper pins that were lightly greased inserted in the torque menber. The single piston pushes into the caliper almost flush. You can use a big C clamp or the largest Channel Lock Pliers to squeeze that piston all the way in. (when) pads are in place they are held in with the hardware 2 thin sheet metal spring things top and bottom edges of the torque member to pad.
