Default Need help diagnosing rubbing sound

Hey folks, 2016 GX here with 125k miles. I got a little one man mechanic who does some of my work and I just had him swap rotors and brake pads on all 4 corners. Ever since, when I am turning left with some acceleration which pushes the vehicle body to the right, I am getting a rhythmic rubbing/squeeling sound from the passenger rear wheel. I took it back to him and I watched him remove the new rotor, caliper and checked/cleaned the e-brake. Cleaned the rotor as well. No improvement. Couldn't see any evidence of rubbing.

it only seems to happen when there is acceleration that puts lateral force on the car to the right. I've had friends stand right outside it and circled them and they pinpointed it to rear right. It's not the strut as we gave it quite a workout to test it. Don't think it's a warped rotor but I'm honestly stumped. Definitely wheel related as it speeds up as I speed up and slows down at slower speeds. Can't figure it out. Any ideas? Thank you so much

Try backing off the e-brake shoes 1-click and see what happens.
