Hi guys. Completely renewed calipers, new discs and pads, and this happen

Why? Did pads are too hard ?

Hope you get it fixed buddy.

Don't do anything. If the brakes work keep using them until there is a reason not to use them any longer.

I have never used Black Diamond discs my I have used Hawk HP+ many times before. I cant remember this happening though.

Could just be a couple of bits of grit got caught on the lip of the pad, causing the 2 deep scoring lines. Check the pad to make sure nothing is caught on/in it. If there is, fish it out, job done.
Are both sides like that, or just one?
As Merlin says, if it still feels fine, just keep using and keep an eye on it.
