[Shotimes] weird brake squeal *or* I don't know how to put pads on

[Shylo McKinsey]

Could you have somehow swaped the calipers? Like put
the "inside caliper" on the outside and vise versa?
Seems possible if the clips have rusted off. Don't
know if that makes sense...

How "new" are these pads/rotor?
