Brake squealing. Metal with metal sound in rear

Hey whats going on guys. I tried searching online to find what it could be causing this metal to metal sound but cant seem to find anything.

Car is a 1986 trans am with a 1989 formula 3.45 rear end disc swap. A friend and i recently changed the rotors and pads front and rear. I purchashed the rotors (wearever) from advanced auto parts along with ceramic brake pads (wearever). I replaced only the front calipers.

As soon as i pull out of my friends house ,and start driving home everything is fine till i get on the road and can here a squeak squeak coming from the left rear tire. The squeaking countinues and only STOPS whens i press on the brake. As soon as i let off the brake the squeaking starts AGAIN.

Also when i make a hard left turn i can hear a real loud and annoying metal with metal screach. We raised the car took the wheel off and noticed the heat shield on the brake pad was off the pad and rubbing on the rotor . I set it back in place and took the car for a spin . It was still screaching and only when i would press the brake would it stop. The metal with metal sound went away for a moment when making a hard left but returned after a 10 minute drive!!

After the storm passes im going to return the rear rotors and pads and have them replaced for another set. What can the problem be? The car has steel braided lines in the rear. Could it be my rear caliper needs to be replaced ??? Or is it something much simpler??

Any input would be great help.
