The metal plate behind the pad does not come with the pads. Brake squeal can either be caused by glazed pads or the metal plate behind the pads is dirty. Best solution is to put a thin layer of copper grease on the metal plate between the plate and the back of the pads. It's meant to have some there whenever pads are replaced to prevent brake squeal.
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
