Brake Problem

Hey Guys
I have a 98 CLK320
I replaced my rotors with the oem and my brake pads with EBC Greenstuff.

My problem is that my techs at the dealership say that the pads are too thick to be able to put the anti-rattle springs/clips on. Has anyone ever heard of this? With the clips off whenever I go over bumpy surfaces I can hear the clanking of metal coming from the brakes, The second I apply my brakes while going over the bumps the noise ceases.
Surely there must be a way to fix this. How can EBC make thicker pad and have them still fit. They where easy to put on nothing was forced. Am I missinig something?
Input appreciated.

1. They sent you the wrong pads.
2. The mechanic didn't move the piston(s) in all the way.

I would bet on the second one.
Take your car to a different place. Good luck.
