Default Left rear caliper won't screw back in

The left rear caliper won't move at all. I can't screw it back in. The right rear side screwed back in fine. Any ideas?

No it's off, I even opened the brake bleeder screw and that didn't help. I did finally get it back in but it took a lot of force. The other side screwed back in easily. The weird thing is the caliper has not been giving me any issues.

Well sometimes you have to push the caliper piston in before you put the caliper back

You might have some corrosion or deposits on the piston walls, I've also seen that happen with a bad piston boot that got bound up with the piston and made it difficult to move.
