You need to make sure that the alignment groove in the rear pad is lined up with the groove in the caliper piston.

remove and re-install, maybe you will see what the problem is. I've done this before too, its usually because the rear pads do not line up with the grooves on the caliper piston. Make sure the piston is fully bottomed out too. If that doesnt work, adjust the ebrake.

you can adjust the e-brake under the brake handle in the center console. If the piston is seized in the caliper however you will need to rebuild it, or buy a remanufactured caliper.
