Default brakes not engaging fully

Ok so last week I replaced my brake pads with some axxis metalmasters.
A full set, fronts and backs. However now my rear passenger brake won't fully engage. With the car on jack stands, and the brake pedal to the floor, you can rotate the rear pass. wheel with some force. Ironically, the car stops much better than it did before with the oem pads but i'd like to get all 4 brakes working right.

Should i bleed the lines some more? Could a misaligned pad be the problem?
