Brakes clicking

I have a 2017 340i with the brembo/ m sport brakes. I just changed my break pads to power stops. Since I have I've had a noticeable ticking anytime I go over about 20mph the faster I go the louder it gets. The noise is only coming from the front passenger brakes. The ticking is when I'm driving and goes away under braking.

I tried to take the brakes apart 2 other times and nothing seems out of place or anything.
It really seems as the brakes are staying very slightly engaged as I can tell from coloration the rotor is getting a little extra hot.

Please any info would help a lot!

Seems like it's the brake pads, not the best compatibility with the M Piston caliper

They're good with it all the reviews for them are good with people with the same brakes and it's only on one wheel

Then it's only the one wheel where either the pad or the installation is defective.

No that's the thing I saw with them being drilled or slotted it could cause a problem but I'm about to dive back into them right now and take a fresh look

Ok so I went back in and figured it out. It looks like it was a faulty production of the brake pad possibly or why wheel is slightly bent but I feel like I would of felt that long before.

The metal clip things on the end of the brake pads where rubbing on the inside of my wheel so I just took a metal file and filed it down and now everything is cool
