Question 2017 Mazda 3 rear brake caliper

I replaced the rear brake pads and rotors yesterday. put the parking brakes in service mode with no problems. I watched a video that said the calipers look like they need to be turned but they are push in. I did this with no issues. can anyone confirm the calipers are push and not turn?

Did mine 2017 GT...put in service mode , listen to them retract and push in.
Then you take out of service mode and you hear them return to normal.

did the same but had to push caliper in just a bit with a C clamp to fit around the pads.
