Two circles are in contact if the distance between their centers is less than or equal to the sum of the two radii.

You should be having coordinates (x,y) for both the circles. Use this file exchange code to get the intersection of two circles. https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/22441-curve-intersections. If two circles intersect you will get the points, if not no points.
