Bend the locating tabs to clench the pad in place on the caliper?

You'll have to pull the wheel.
take a big channel lock or vice grip, and at each end of the pad there is a small tab that hooks over the caliper pointing out
grab by that and the small flat on the low edge of the pad, and squeeze the two together. do both ends ... The pad is now cinched in place on the caliper, hopefully tight enough to prevent annoying 'click!'.

Or turn up that beautiful exhaust a bit.

EDIT: I hope thats clear, I couldn't find a single picture of what I'm talking about online, but I can take one if i have to.
Oh, you might also check that rotor for a crack.....
