Default Need Help! Clunk Sound on Front Brakes

So everytime I brake my car makes a clunking sound on the front left brake. what can it be? I checked the rotor (its good), checked the caliper (it's good), checked brake pads (they're fine)

I had this issue last year, alignment shop didn't tighten one of my CA bushings well enough.

Check caliper mounting bolts at the back that holds them in place and also the caliper bracket?
