Default break wear

I have a 02 tahoe that i put new brake pads, rotors and cailpers in the rear. I noticed now that the rear passenger side outer brake pad is only wearing on the top of the pad. I was wondering if anybody had any solutions 2 fix the problem

Either the caliper side is getting stuck or the pads is binding in the bracket. You need to put rubber safe grease on the slides and where between the pad and the caliper bracket.
