wtf is up w/ my BRAKES!!!!????

ok so i posted a while back about why my brakes are squealing (primarily the RIGHT side) and stuff...i got a few replies about heat glazing and stuff but it wasnt that; i had my friend take a loook at the rotors and the brake pad on the right front rotor had made a groove in the rotor and was pretty much causing the squealing, more or less....and they would only make noise under slight braking, like coming to a stop from rolling speeds
so when i got a chance, i got some new rotors from Rotora (slotted) and new pads (nissan OEM)
now I STILL get squealing noises, but its still only from the RIGHT side im wondering what could be, cuz im all out of ideas
help me pleaseeeeeeee

pads might be touching the rotors slightly, causing the squealing

You probably have a stuck or dragging caliper. Lift up the wheel and turn the wheel to see if there is drag without application of the brakes.
