Rattling Brake Pad Problem

Any help for the mechanically impaired would be much appreciated.....

I had a set of EBC Greenstuff pads fitted to my front calipers a month or so ago.

There has been a metallic rattling/jiggling noise evident for a few weeks when the left front wheel hits bumps/corrugations/manhole covers etc etc.

The noise stops when I have the brakes applied. Figured that this meant it was probably something loose in the brake set-up (I am a genius, blatantly :|)

Removed wheel today and played with pads. Found that outside pad moves freely approx 1mm side to side (i.e. not toward disc and back).

There appears to be slightly too much room where the "pin" goes through the top of the pad (technical, i know, but i'm trying here).

Is there any way of 'chocking' or securing this to prevent jiggle? Or can it be remedied through other means?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help Forrest Gump here.....
