Default Brake Grinding after reinstall

I recently reinstalled my IS250 brakes after selling my Endless brakes and now both front brakes are ginding at all speeds and even louder when I turn the wheel. The brakes didn't grind before I took them off. Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas of what it could be?

A friend said it might be because I didnt install the dust shields. can anyone shine some light?

Thinking out loud here...perhaps they have seized up due to non-usage over the months/years?

did you possibly hit one or both of the backing plates so that its hitting the rotor? I assume
ginding at all speeds
means even when you're not on the brakes?

Yeah it grinds when I'm not on the brakes at all speeds. There aren't any rocks on the pads either.
