Bent backing plate or a stone caught between rotor and plate?

Subject: '88 Vanagon disc brakes

Just did a complete front brake job. New rotors, new races,  bearing, and seals. Well lubed. New Girling pads. Adjusted bearing washer pressure per Benley. Peened new lock nuts per Bentley.

During test drive, there was/is a random scraping sound apparently coming from the right front wheel. Removed the wheel, inspected the rotor and caliper assembly, but found nothing.

Any suggestions?
