The slot on the piston needs to line up with the tab on the pad.
You can see and mess with it through the hole on the backside

Right.
Spin it so it will fit over the fatter pads, then spin it a bit again, to line it up

get a pair of needle nose pilers, open them wide enough to fit in the grooves....turn, turn, turn until the piston goes back in
