Metallic squeal/scrape sound after doing wheel studs

So I worked over the winter to replace the wheel studs as the PO had someone go ham on them with an impact gun. Taking them out was simple enough after I recognized the leverage necessary to get the caliper brackets off the front. Did the fronts, test drove and all was well. Finished up the rears a couple weeks ago and now all of a sudden I have a horrible metallic squeal/scraping sound coming from the rear.

Finally had time to take it apart tonight and seemed like the pads were sitting on the rotors so I flexed them a bit to the point where they were spread a bit, buttoned it all up and before I even left the garage, same awful noise. Ideas of what I fucked up?

Car is a '17 PP car that wasn't driven all winter, only has 21k on it and likely the original pads and rotors though both have plenty of meat left. Also car wasn't making this or any other nosie prior to me taking on this little project. Thanks in advance.
