Default Brand New caliper

I have a new set of calipers and pads. I got the passenger side on with no issues. I am having problems getting the calipers On the driver side. Any suggestions or anything. Thanks

Have you tried gently compressing the piston into it?

You don't really describe the problem you are having or the truck you are having it on. 2nd Gen 1500 calipers are common throughout as are 2500/3500 calipers. Having the old caliper side by side with the new would eliminate dimensional fitment/wrong part issues.
No thanks due to pointless/useless responses used to drive up post count, but that is forum life.
