Default Rubbing brakes, please help!

OK i did my rear brakes, new pads and rotors, and they are STILL rubbing, making a constant annoying noise. Took it to my mechanic and he said everythings fine, we did them good, but it still making tht sound. I dont kno if its from buying ceramic pads and thts the noise those pads make? Ive heard people talkign abou a hex screw tht adjusts the brake pads in back but i couldnt find tht. Can someone please help the rubbing sound really getting annoying!

How hard was it to slide the pads into the brake shim clips? I bought a set of durastop or some cheap brand from Autozone for my car and they didn't slide freely. I had to jam them in. I returned them because it didn't seem right. My HPS pads slid right in.
