Brake locked up
so my old brake pads were pretty much completely useless and I did a brake pad replacement. Now my front passenger brake is locked up and burning when I drive. Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like something was not assembled correctly

It's just a guess, but the caliper piston likely has no dust seal or O-ring left and OP pushed on one side of the piston rather than using a tool and cocked the brake cylinder in the bore. Another question that only a physical inspection can truly answer. Zclumpy- how many miles are on your Z and have you done many brake jobs like this?

OK. I'd say disassemble it again, then reassemble it according to this:
