I never smear on the rear of the pads, only on friction / movement joints against the carrier, as the OEM pads have a double sided sticky pad that sticks the pad to the caliper already (or a non sticky pad on other brands)and the metal clip does the same for the one that faces against the piston.

I am under the impression that it's also bad practice to use any copper slip on the face of the wheel hub/disc where the wheel mounts against because it can compact and cause wheel imbalances. Best just brush any muck away and leave it all rusty coloured against the wheel

Thank you.

First time I have heard about putting grease between the wheel and hub. I could see that Volvo garage didn't do this when new tyres were installed.

Also, I never saw before to put any Brake Anti-Squeal paste but I have watched plenty of videos and this paste is used.
