Brand new squeaky brakes

so the other day i put new brake pads on my 2001 4runner. Some beer was invovled and somehow ended up putting in 1 pad on each side in backwards. So i bought new rotors today and put those on with the brake pads facing the right way. i only drove around the block with the pads on backwards the first time. So even now with new pads and rotors, im getting alot of squeaking. I took it apart and put brake cleaner on every part and cleaned it off and pu. including the rotor and front of brake pads. (the can said to do it). I put the no squeak stuff on the back of the pads and nothing. When i drive it still makes a light grinding and squaking noise. The grinding is less than when i had the pad backwards, but its still there, the squeaking is more of the issue. I noticed even with the brake pads out ill spin the rotor around and it will have a very light grinding noise, im not sure if this is normal or not. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

It should not be a Metal on Metal grinding sound

Did the dust shield get bent and is rubbing on the rotor that happens at times .
