Hi, Will check this, but don't understand why this would happen after the front discs and pads have been changed?

Hi,
Handbrake was not on when discs and pads were changed on the front, i have solved the sticking on problem but now have a grinding noise on the front passanger side when breaking, pistons are not sticking and only happens when breaking lightly but the noise is quite noisy, any ideas

Have checked both fronts, the caliper on the passenger side seems to be loser than the drivers side and the caliper is done up tight. The noise was there before i changed the discs and pads, I am changing the pads on the back of the car tomorrow or saturday could the braking system be un balanced?
