I can only assume that you have fitted the brake pads without any of the anti rattle shims.
There should be a small metal shim fitted to top edge of each pad to take up the gap between the pad & the caliper, this stops the pad rising in the caliper when you touch the brake pedal.
There should also be a large metal "s" shape spring pad which fits between the top & bottom pad retaining pins. This pushes the pads home into the caliper in the direction of the hub to stop them rattling about.

Sorry for the late reply,
The small shims inbetween the top of the pad & the caliper do come with STD Subaru pads, but can be brought seperatley for £3.20 each.
The large "S" shape retainer is not part of a pad kit & iff missing they will cost you £19.25 each
