    The usual response for this is, go ride and bed them in.

    They are quite fiddly, i find it useful to have it on a stand so that there is some daylight behind the brake unit so I can see clearly the pads against the discs or more specifically the hairline distance between them. Then more adjustment as needed. Failing or in addition to that that have you tried changing the pads in/out position via the brake lever allan key adjustment?
