Its much easier to just get a new cylinder TBH, but I have managed to get the pistons back into a caliper before, just have to get it lined up perfect and push it in. do this by hand and push it in straight. It will take a long time and is an absolute arse (if you can get it back at all) . Don't forget to top up the break fluid and bleed the system.

I would look at getting a new one tho (parts places will close soon so make a decision quickly)

the pistons form a seal so they are a VERY tight fit. Don't mark them with grips ect or you wont ever get them back or seal properly.

Put a set of molegrips on the brake pipe, undo the bleeding nipple enough to allow the fluid to come out when you push the cylinder back in.
Put your wheel back on, unclip the molegrips, then bleed the brake so that you dispel any air in the caliper when you pushed the cylinder in. Tighten the nipple and top up your brake fluid. Job done.
