While driving and foot off brakes there is clicking noise that only stops when I hit the brakes. I don't think these have any clips to hold pads in place. Thickness looks good but I have not yet took them apart to see why they doing that. Can you see in the pictures if they come with sort of clips so they are not loose when foot is off the brakes?

If the pads rattle in the caliper mount the clips are missing. Yes, these pads have retainer clips for the brake pads which will make the rattle you are describing.

There is zero suspension issues. No wobbling. When front wheel removed rotor turns straight. I tried to turn the wheel thinking maybe there is one specific lug it needs to go on no matter what it still sits outside the ring. I cleaned both the wherl hub and rotor hub same thing

I was able to tighten the bolts more and more and it does not wobble anymore, but it is not sitting on the hub, same with one of the rears I think it may have had wheels on it and someone swapped it whatever steel wheels they can find to sell it. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED, BUT 2 WENT ON FINE THE OTHER TOO WOULD NOT FIT. SAME SIZE AND BRAND TIRES ON THEM ALL

Oh and after fixing the rear seized caliper pins it got better but there was still noise up front, so I found anther caliper that had seized pins, freed them and lubricated them. I don't see anti rattle clips on any of them, I think you mean the ones they sit on? Ya those are on all 4, I meant if there were like those you find on some Hondas, which hold the brake pads together

It looks like the rims are incorrect, the center hole of the rim is too small, the rim should sit flush on the hub. If not this will make clicking noises when driving. Thanks for the videos, they help. Can you show me the calipers and brake anti rattle clips?
