When I used cheap pads I sometimes have had difficulties fitting the pad and I had to file the pad's sides in order to fit them in the hardware. Check this out.

Next step. Compress the piston a little and make sure it freely slides sideways. When you do your brakes you suppose to clean and regrease the pins but you did not mention this.

Good luck,

Sorry, I did forget but yes, I did lube pins, slides, caliper. Did same to other side and worked fine. Thanks for you help.
