Yea you’re right TOM the caliper piston must be rotated, while applying a light inward force on the piston. There is a tool available to do this; that makes this chore a lot easier. Once you have the piston all the way back in its bore; you must line up the detent(s) in the piston, so that the location pin on the brake pad fits into the detent.
None of my business but what’s a Cadillac owner doing his own brakes? I can’t picture someone in their three piece suit and designer shoes; sitting on their butt in the driveway; busting their knuckles on a brake caliper. LOL
Just joking.

Depending on how hard you "pushed" you may be looking at the minimun of a new piston or possibly caliper.....
