My question is: will the system correct itself with use and break-in, or did I do something wrong. I know, probably a stupid question, but I tend to be a bit OCD with my automotive projects.
TIA!

You should buy a brake pad tool that will force the pistons back in to the caliper. Inexpensive and make the job much easier.
