I can’t go check at the moment because I am 800mi from my car, but I’m pretty sure I don’t have those clips installed. My calipers don’t move around like yours. They won’t hurt anything, but I think the lack of those clips is not the fundamental cause of your problem.
I ordered the replacement kit including two pins, washers and E-clips and the four anti-rattle-clips and rubber inserts. Just as above. The clips were simply missing. This was the reason why everything did rattle around. So I inserted the rubber into the clip, mounted the clip on the brake pad, inserted the pad into the caliper and mounted all this. Now the pin required a gentle ammount of force to go into the caliper, now NOTHING die rattle around.

Thanks to me or in spite of me?! I'm now back home and see that I do indeed have those clips on my calipers. You are right that the pins should require a bit of force to go in, so obviously the clips are important. I'm glad you solved it!
