Default Break Noise

I Just changed the front wheel on my 98 RK. Now there is a rattle noise coming from the break caliper when bike is at a stop. The bolts are tight and you can not move the calipers by hand when push/pulling on them. To me it seems like the pad is moving around. Any suggestions?

Do you think it would have broken or is it not installed correctly?
