I replaced the brake pads for my SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes and found that the level pull on the left is tight where whereas the right is loose (see pictures). (Sorry I don't know what terminology to use. 😅) IIRC, a good spot should be somewhere between the two, although the right side seems to be closer to what it was before I replaced the pads.
What did I miss when replacing the pads? It would seem that both would be tighter due to new pads being thicker than the worn pads. Do I need to bleed the brake lines in this case?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you reset the pistons when you replaced the pads? If not, that’s likely what it is. If you did on both calipers, might need a bleed then
You, my friend, are about to experience the true joy of owning a SRAM hydraulic brake system.
Is your body ready?
