Default Disk Brake Pads and Metal Backing - Keep Seperating On Everything I Own

WTF i dont buy cheap pads but the metal backing keep separating from the pads , on my truck it wedged its self against the rotor and was glowing red I thought it was going to catch fire ...

Took the cars apart and both inside pads on driver and pass side were separated

Whats the deal

Sounds like they went with the lowest bidder, somewhere in China/Japan perhaps.

I guess it could be my mechanical abilities that causes equipment failure , its pretty tuff to put them pads in the metal guides and slide the caliber back over them
