Default Rear disc brake piston problem for H22

Hi,
Today I try to change my rear disc brakes on my H22 vehicle, but the piston on the caliper is giving problems. I got the set of brake piston compression tool, is a tool that makes the job easier to compress the piston in the caliper , but the piston in the caliper still not going in. It has been difficult for me to install the new break pads. The two rear disc brakes are both giving problems, so I am not sure what am I doing wrong. Please, if anyone has a solution for this problem feel free to share your experience. I have no more Ideas.

that because the rear pistons do not just rec ompress in, you have to use a large screw driver and screw the pistons back in, that is how the rear works. you don't use a compressor tool,
