The "true" solid rotor pads are a little bit thicker than the vented rotor pads. About 1/8" difference.
If the vented rotor have been machined down close to its minimum thickness, it's actually possible to fit solid rotor pads in there. That might explain why the pads fit on one side but not the other (different thickness of rotor).
