Default Grinding/ metal to metal noise while braking

Hey all.
I own is250 2011 RWD, and for like 1.5 years, I have a noise while braking, in any speeds.
I tried many things but nothing solved the problem.
Today I want to the dealershop, and he replaced front and rear rotors and brake pads (everything is lexus original parts), and the noise is still here.
I have noticed that when I drive in reverse (backwards) there is no noise when braking, only when I drive forward.
It's drive me crazy.
Any help / suggestions will be more then welcome.

I removed the wheel and I shot a video of the noise:

So my question is, is the pad should be so tight to the rotor??
Thanks!

Never noticed that on mine, when I was using more expensive “high performance” brake pads I would notice a squeal for the first couple of stops before the rotors warmed up,

within the last year or so I changed the rotors and brake pads front and rear and haven’t had a noise outside the normal squeaks after letting it sit a few days.

watching the video makes me think there is more light contact than what I would consider normal.

You might have a partially seized caliper there, thus it not fully releasing the brake pad from the rotor surface.
