I'm not sure what you're talking about since you're not being very specific. My best guess is the clips are for the anti-rattle of the pad to brake rotor.

no, I believe they're just so they don't rattle. Why would you want to take them off if you have them?

You should have put them back on. The pads will rattle against the rotors and make a tapping noise as you drive. If it gets bad enough with the vibration the pads can develop hairline cracks.
