Does these brakes look normal? Or there's something wrong in the install

Since i've bought my Fiesta ST MK7 i always noticed a weird noise coming from the rear left. At first i thought was the rear bearing, but that is unlikely since i've very recently swapped the tires and tires shop said that the bearing was all good. Tonight, while coming home, i've noticed that the "rolling, somehow high pithed" noise increases when i slighlt tap the brakes. I've tried to record a sample of it but is very hard to properly hear, and i, from the driving position, can only hear it when coming next to something that bounce it back like a wall or some other passing cars.

i took a picture of the brake caliper. Is the install correct?
Afaik, those are not the stock disks and the caliper is running on Brembo disk pads

Thanks a lot

From what I can see the pads still have a lot of meat left to them.. but the rotors seem to have a lip/edge on the outer edge if so these will need to be replaced. However when you install the rotors if you did, did you clean the rotors with brake cleaner as most companies have a protective film coating on the rotors which is like a oil or grease. if you did not remove this or clean them you could have contaminated the pads and your stopping power has been reduced.
