Just a idea have you pushed the 2 slides back where the bolts slide or you cant get the caliper on at all

Your rotors may have a lip on the edge of them stopping the pads from sliding in. If so get them machined or be a little rough and take the lip off gently with a grinder

My rotors have quite a pronounced lip on them. I use a soft hammer to get the calipers on.
