Torque smorque.... unless the person that put them on is an idiot and severly overtightened or undertightened them, there's probably nothing wrong.

Chances are your problem is the brand of the pads. If you have organic pads, then don't tend to squeel but tend to leave tons of brake dust.

If you get a harder pad like ceramics or the such, they last longer but usually tend to squeel.

Other than a few name brand brakes, I usually go back and buy OEM pads.

They last great, don't squeel and don't leave a ton of brake dust.

When I sold my last H2, I had 103K miles and was still on the factory pads.
