your pad isn't contacting at the bottom. I'd replace both on that end of the car in order to get proper and even wear

I'm guessing the piston is seized. Same thing happened to mine, couldn't get the caliper back on the rotors because I couldn't get the piston to go back in.

Decided to tackle the pesky caliper today.
Jacked her up and took the wheel off, I had to pound the caliper off the rotor with a hammer
Then I applied liberal amounts of caliper grease to the piston, pumped the brakes a few times pushing the piston back in between times. Then put the rotor back on, and this time it fit right over the rotor unlike last time where i had to force it on a bit.
Took her for a ride, and voila! Normal brake pressure :D :D :D
Now Im just going to have uneven rotor/pad wear which probably isnt that good, but considering I just replaced the front pads and rotors in December, Im not about to do it again.
Couple pics I took of the parking lot wrenching

Being that Im no longer going to be living at home I need toolz. Here are some additional ones that I had to pick up to get the brake job done the other day. Sometimes a new tool is just as exiting as a new part :D

and at the other end of the spectrum, having your tools stolen pulls you away. i hate when it happens, even if its just a couple of small things.
