After releasing the brake the pads are passively pushed away by imperfections in the rotor. Unless the rotor is warped you may not be able to (visually) detect any distance between them at all.
If you are worried about them dragging you can ride a bit, coast to a stop, and see if the rotor is hot. Probably won't be.

You can make the pull action a little more active by applying a little high-heat silicone to the back of the pad.
