Default 2007 ES front wheel bearing

I replaced the front wheel bearing and now when I am going very slow and turn sharp to the right the caliper rubs on the outer part of the rotor.

any thoughts?

You have to tighten the bolts on the caliper.

Yes I removed it and tightened everything to specs.

I had the wheel bearing replaced on a ES300 years ago. I was painting the caliper the next day and noticed how close the rotor was to the caliper. I figured they did not seat the bearing fully, which caused it. The service writer flipped out the next day and claimed I had screwed it up. I went toe to toe with him on his "facts" and how it is assembled (I owned it for 16 yrs and disassembled it and did a brake pad cleaning & painted the calipers 16 times) and they ended up fixing it (centering the rotor)....... of course pounding the fresh paint off in hammer blows to the caliper.
I don't know what they did but something was re-centered.

Thanks I removed it and put it back together and seems fine now, something must not have been centered correct
