Front Passenger Caliper noise

Hey guys quick question,
I swapped out my big brake kit and put new stock calipers on the front so I could put my winter tires on. Put the old calipers on first and the front right was making a rattling noise. Went out bought a new one and its still rattling. It stops when I press the brakes so just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I did not put the metal wear indicators back in with the new pads. Without those on could that little amount of space not be keeping the pads tight and causing them to rattle??

i would pull the wheel off and sit there until you find out whats rattling...I'd be a little nervous about driving if my front brakes had a rattle.

Ya I was kinda scared at first but looked at it this morning with some actual sunlight and found out it was because I didnt put the wear indicators in. Without them it leaves just enough room for the pad to rattle back and forth. Thanks though
