Default brakes....

i posted this in the tech section a few days ago with not much response...... so....i recently replaced the rotors and pads....... i noticed today that there is a slight grinding when i step on the brakes..... sounds like it coming from the rear passenger side.... that was the same side that i struggled with getting off the rotor..... i ended up knocking off the E brake pad.... could that have something to do with the grinding?? is there an adjustment needed when that happens??? i only hear the noise when i step on the brakes

What type of pads?
If they are harder than your old pads.... that is likely the source of the grinding noise....
