I changed my brake pads and realized at the end I may have swapped the inner and outer pads on the rear tires. I’m not 100% sure but I think the piston in one of the tires is pressing against the black pins like the top pad in the picture.

Should I correct this immediately or can I get by until my next change?

Thank you I went ahead and swapped them. RockAuto threw me off by rubber banding the inner pads together so I thought that was the set. But hey you live and learn. Thankfully everything was pre loosened so it didn’t take me nearly as long to swap.
