Was caliper on rears pushed all the way in prior to install of new pads? Did you check to see if you have a frozen caliper? Were the shims in picture replaced and pads will slide?Will calipers slide in bracket?

Yes, I checked but I do not understand why rear brakes are initiated? I worked on front brakes.

It may be a bleeding issue with ABS. Try a power bleeder if that does not straighten it out then have a professional scan for codes for an ABS problem.
