My guess is that when you changed pads, you tapped the brake lever and this is why your pads are now too close together. You can bleed the brakes, OR you MAY be able to use the round end of a open end wrench to put the pads back into place. Pull the pads, and use the round end of the wrench to push the pistons back into place.
Good luck!
