I think you'll find that both inner and outer pads have 'clips', different shapes though, and will probably not both fit in the wrong locations.
You do need to change them though as, if they've been binding, they've probably overheated.

Generic picture of Golf pads with clips on all four pads...

The silver clips here will be on the inners, the black clips on the outers.
Seems a silly and pointless design. But sometimes manufacturers just do that
For anti-squeal, positively holds each pad to its adjacent part of the caliper...
