These rear brakes have to be put into a service mode to press the caliper in when you change the brake pads. It’s possible to take the electric park brake off the back of the caliper and then you can manually adjust it back and press the calipers in. If it’s all back together and the park brake won’t disengage then I would take the park brake off manual disengage and perform a epb calibration and go from there

There is a 14mm bolt on the back of the caliper. It is a very short bolt used as a plug to cover an adjustment screw you turn with a 3/4mm Allen wrench. Jack your car up, take off the back wheels, LOWER YOUR HANDBRAKE, and tighten the screw with the Allen wrench until it is tight and the rotor won't turn by hand. Back it off about a quarter turn and do the same to the other side. Test your handbrake, if its good reinstall the plugs and Kodi nox your good to go.
