this bracket might be the source of the grinding noise, i had the same problem after doing my brakes

just bend it away from the rotor and you'll be good

neither i looked at it today in shop class anything els that could be causing it?

Is it coming from the front end for sure, or does it sound like it's coming from the rear? Could be a bunch of things. Does it go away when you are turning, get worse?

calipers seized against the rotors? Just had the same problem myself...

it gets worse when i trn left so im thinking that it somming from the right is it possible that i got a bad wheel baring

You know what, it could be your halfshaft. Check the boots closest to the wheels for tears. Usually if you get a tear though you'll get grease flung around your wheel well. If it's worse when you're turning that could be the culprit.

If the boots aren't torn, you might have to actually take them out to be able to tell if they are bad. I would get some new boots and grease just in case. You might have to go as far as taking the boot off to see any signs of extreme wear or breakage.
