Got 4 new tires, toe fixed, now rhythmic scraping noise on driver’s front wheel. Dust plate/backing plate?

Post Body

2014 Ford focus.

Got four new tires from discount tire and toe fix. Driving off, noticed slight scraping sound at low speed, seems to be only on drivers front wheel. Seems to not be as bad on some turns but not positive. Sound is similar to when I’ve had to get brake pads replaced on other vehicles, but brakes are working fine and it was not making this sound at all before.

Store closed pretty much as I walked out so will go back tomorrow, but from comparing videos I found dust plate/backing plate scraping the rotor seems to be what it is. Is this a big deal? Anything else that sounds like a reasonable culprit?
