Default can aftermarket brake pads have play in them?

Hi guys, just wanted to get your opinions here...got a call from the dealership, said that the clanking/ banging metal noise in my drivers side front end, was in fact the aftermarket pads that where installed, he said they are in good shape, but they are a little bit smaller in sized compared to oem and there is a little bit of play, hense the noise...there is no need to change them out right away...have any of you had this experience or ever heard of this happening before? thanks

I had a friend that had a set of pads actually fall out on his driveway. They were to small.
