R1 Pads not fitting

Hey all, i recently ordered a set of R1 Rotors and brake pads. I got the rotors installed fine. But i cant get the new pads to fit over the rotor. Any ideas? i figured they should fit since they came with the rotors.

Get a C-clamp and push the piston in a little with the brake fluid resivoir cap off. Watch to make you brake fluid doesn't come up too far as you turn the C-clamp. this will get some pressure off the piston.
