Manufacturing tolerance, probably. If they made the backing tolerance too tight, there's an off chance that the pad could get cocked in the bracket and not move properly. Knowing Toyota OEM pads myself, they have room to shift for that purpose. I ran Centrics in a vehicle I had before and they clattered at lower speeds. Wrote it off as part of the game with aftermarket pads.
No that's not it. The aftermarket pads are too short top to bottom and therefore have free play in the caliper. They should be longer like OEM.
