Second on the shields, but if not try driving it for a little and bed in the pads.
Also could be the pads are not in right, seated correctly. As others have said, hard to tell over the internet. Sorry.

Eh, It's kinda hard to seat the pads incorrectly.
Either they're in or they're not, or the caliper isn't going to fit in the carrier. Make sure the spring clip is in correctly though.
