Grab your smartphone, open a blank white background (or this webpages), put it under your calipers while looking from above, see how much gap there is between the rotor and pads.
With cable pull calipers, you might either need to reposition the calipers or move the static pads a bit further out.
With hydraulic, clamp down the brake levers hard while the bolt holding the calipers is slightly loose, then carefully tighten them up again, check with your phone again to ensure there's an even gap on both side (with both pads hitting at the same time).
Lastly, your rotors could be a little out of true (very common), easy to do, just bend it a bit with a screwdrivers as a wedge, or your hands.

I am new to disc brakes and it sounds like the disc is rubbing on the pad on the front when the wheel spins round. I am sure I haven't aligned it properly but not sure what else to do when doing up the QR, any ideas? This is on the pine mountain
