Default [HELP]Brembo Brake Changed and issue

Hi guys i changed my Brake pad on my 03 Track 350z and I have somekind of Issue with it. This was my first BREMBO Brake change. THis is the issue, Whenever it is the FIRST time reversing or FIRST time going forward then brake i hear this metal cling noise. Like I was going forward then try to go reverse and brake i hear the "CLING" after that it is fine, but from there if i go forward then brake again for the first time, I hear "CLING" again. then the noise don't comeback untile i go reverse again.
Question:
1. IS it because i only put brake greese on portion; just where pad and piston contacts?
2. Should I of not used the metal sheet that goes on top of the pad?
Please help me!!

chances are you didn't grease the pads properly during replacement. Check that first and see if it goes away.
