I think you may have dropped two pieces
1. the small anti squeal shim! zThis is usually located by small pins at the back of one of the pads, hence it goes against the piston.

2. the surround that holds the rubber dust cover, that is usually a light press fit in the caliper body.

The round one with raised centre should have cross head screw going into back of the pad.
