its very thin metal. Unhooking the ebrake and the noise going away leads me to believe this isn't your problem. Definitely worth taking a look though.
Now that I think of it, is it possible your ebrake cable is too taught? I'm not familiar with the mechanism, but I'm pretty sure it can be adjusted near the handle. Maybe if its let out a bit up there, it won't be pulling on the drum and causing the noise? Just throwing out ideas at this point. Maybe someone more familiar with these ebrake systems can chime in and offer insight

I would pull the rotor and watch your ebrake while you unhook your cables and see if it moves. Also check to make sure the ebrake shoe is riding in the clip at the top. It holds it in so it should be very noticeable if it isn't.
As far as bending the backing plate I just used a small hammer and pliers.
