so if I have the pads but they won't fit in, will removing the bore cap with that tool work? Or is there something obvious I'm missing about how to put the new brake pads in?

Have you reset the pistons / pushed them back in flat?

Removing the bore cap does not adjust anything. You’ll only end up with fluid everywhere.
As @MCamb says, try pushing the pistons back in.

Don’t have the tool but it’s not for adjusting the brakes, only for removing/refitting the bore cap so that you can pop the pistons out/replace the bore cap seal.
