I’ve done everything possible as far as cleaning any mating surfaces swapped the backs inner and outer and nothing.

I figured they were identical but when I had the issues I swapped them yet nothings changed.

Do both of the pads on that side have ears on the backing plate? If they do that means you put both outer pads on the other side.

Then you have the inside pad from the other side on bot pads for this side. There’s two pads with “bumps” on top where the caliper pistons go, and two pads that have smooth tops.

Was there a retention metal clip that supposed to be installed between caliper bracket and caliper itself?

What do the brake pads look like? Some pad kits have an inner pad and outer.

I can see you put the inner “Mickey mouse” pad on the outer there as evidenced by the caliper sitting super high on the outside in that first picture.
