No worries, glad you've got it going. Bet this thread gets a few views in its dim and distant future, when others stumble up against the same thing.
It all makes sense, but only once you know how it works
Earlier this year, I lost months trying to dial in the perfect position for a set of new disc pads. With trial and error adjustments across multiple rides, I eventually got them to a point where they barely chimed, but could never dial in the perfect setting. Had the wheel off maybe 7 times. Removed and re-attached the rotor maybe 3.
Eventually, mentioned it in passing whilst in the LBS. Shop guy leans over, spins the wheel, listens to the rub, grabs rotor, pulls it towards him, spins wheel, silent. Ah... ok. Bent rotor.
