Default Rear brake clicking noise after changing brakes

I changed my brake pads and rotors last night on the rear wheels, but now there is a clicking noise that seems to be coming from the rear brake on the driver's side. Before I put the replacement rotor on, a spring and pin and button thing had fallen off and I tried to put it back on as best I could, and I think this could be causing the problem. Any thoughts on the cause or fix of the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Default E-Brake grommet busted

I had this happen to me. If it is a consistent click, click, click that changes with speed then the e-brake cable end retainer is busted. I found a little round piece of rubber that worked, but the OEM replacement is probably inexpensive.

I also had this and one of the pieces holding the ebrake pads in the rotor had deformed. I bent it back into shape like the other one on that hub and it fixed it.

Thanks, I think it is just that little button thing that keeps the ebrake from rubbing against the front of the rotor, I might not have gotten the one of the two little buttons on just right so I think that is the culprit. I'll have to pull the rotor again and check it.
