PLEASE HELP Rear disk brake questions

I have a 10 bolt off I beleive a 85 camaro. I guess its the iron calipers because passenger side is in the front and the drivers side is facing the back. I was able to compress one piston (drivers side). But cant get the the passengers side because the tool doesnt fit. Also i have no idea how to make these emergency brakes functional (should have payed more attention taking it apart). I have all parts but dont know what goes where. This is really holding up my build so of someone could help me out asap id appreciate it. Also does the metal tab on the brake pad face up or down?

The piston screws in. A search should provide the info you require. Here's one that may be useful:
