Renault Scenic rear brakes not working after change

I fitted new pads to the rear brakesof my Renault Scenic, freed off the pistons but still got no brakes. I have been told it could be the compensator not working but I cannot find it, do you have any idea where it could be?

It's usually in the rear brake line before it splits to go to the two rear wheel cylinders.
