weird noise after replacing rear brakes

Hi,

I changed my rear rotors, calipars, and brake pads recently. Since then I am hearing a pretty bad grinding noise when applying the brakes softly. On highway speeds it doesnt seem to be happening but when I am on a local road and I apply the brakes softly it tends to happen. I am really confused as to what it can be. I showed it to a few mechanics and they all have different theroies. One said the pads have play in the caliper and its happening because of that. Another person told me the inside calipers dont have shims and its happening because of that. I still have to confirm if the shims are really missing but I was wondering if anyone else had any similar trouble or has any ideas on troubleshoot this issue.

Thanks,
Ken
