Bob i'm not the best to explain here, although i always get the job done i find if a bit fiddly to do so.
There are two sliding bushings that should have enough ( silicone preferably but anything will work here ) grease under the dust seals to enable the caliper housing to freely slide and find the best position on the rear brake disk ( yellow dot ).
Before you begin check that the caliper feels slightly loose to move with all bolts tight.
They normally wear about the same on both brake pads unless they are prevented to slide sideways and adjust freely.
The rear ( sliding ) bolt ( 12mm socket ) has to be loosened to lift the caliper enough to replace the pads.
Also make sure the slot in the caliper frame which pivots around the axle is located correctly over the square piece on the swingarm which stops the caliper rotating in either direction with the rear brake applied.
The ( 8mm socket ) pin can then be unscrewed and the pads replaced, this is the fiddly bit to get the new pads to seat both resting on their supports against the spring tension before replacing the pin and the bolt.
It is possible to install the pads not resting on their intended supports and yet looking ok, that may have happened in your case, have a look if they have worn correctly.
Likely more advice is coming your way but that's my bit of advice for you.
