Akebono pads with Brembo rotors, bad squeal

I just had the Akebono euro ceramic pads and Brembo rotors installed setup installed in the front and rear. But now for the first time my brakes are squealing like mad. My mechanic guaranteed the labor but not the parts since I supplied those. Now he says it's my parts but I don't think so. He only used the regular mercedes anti squeal paste and no stop squeal treatment or anything like that on them. Could that be the issue?

Or perhaps is there a way to put that stuff on without taking the pads fully out of the calipers? I don't have the skill to take those off but i can get the wheels off easy enough.

Or if any of you know how to fix this and live near the SF East bay area please let me know, most mechanics don't want to even look at it.

Thanks in advance.

If he didn't...let me use the technical term....SLATHER...the backs of the brake pads with disc brake lube (I like the Permatex Green Stuff)...then they will squeal like a mother.

It could be a number of things, but the more important question here is: "Where are the pics of this brake setup?"!
