Default rear brake caliper help

i changed the pads on the drivers side. the caliper compressed back into the cylinder fine. on the passenger side, the caliper does not want to compress all the way. i get it in most of the way but no matter how many times i use the rachet and the universal adapter the caliper does not want to compress. what should i do. anyone else have this problem before???

loosen up the bleeder screw and see if you can compress it ,,,you might have to bleed that side
