The pads are the same for the inside and outside so all I can think of is if you put them inside out as in metal to metal but I’m not sure if that’s even possible.

@swathdiver I was just doing some research on that parking brake shoe system, I had no idea that's how it worked. That being said I am not sure this is the cause of my problem, I have good sized streaks on my read rotors so it had something to do with the way the pads are seating on the rotors. Both rear rotors have streaks, maybe I put the rads in the wrong side? Is there a good diagram to show which pads goes where?

The squeeler goes on the inside. Did you grease the slides and the guide pins?
