If you’ve already compressed the piston and inserted the new pads and it just “doesn’t seem to fit”, the piston is compressed too far and the top edge of the inside pad is interfering with the alignment of the caliper to the mount points. Try jiggling the pad towards the center of the caliper to remove this interference and line the caliper up with the mount points.
