I've had a bit more of a play and realised a couple more things.

The new pads are sloped so putting them on upside down isn't ideal. They'll probably sort themselves out over a few rides.

Filing is slow going, I started on the one side and took what I thought was a good amount of material off, but it made very little difference 🙄

Are the new calipers designed to be used with narrower pads. I have the same ones as you on one bike and they are quite chunky, the ones on my other bike are much narrower.

The new calipers came with these new pads, so they should be right. The narrower pads that I used to have on fit though.
