I changed my brake pads and realized at the end I may have swapped the inner and outer pads on the rear tires. I’m not 100% sure but I think the piston in one of the tires is pressing against the black pins like the top pad in the picture.

Should I correct this immediately or can I get by until my next change?

Yeah always double check because there doesn't seem to be any standard if things are packaged as sets of inner and outer or inners together and outers together.
