As for greasing, are you able to show me exactly where they should have greased a bit better?
Additionally, are the pads side specific (Drivers vs passenger) - no mechanic has confirmed this

Here attached on where to grease.
Yes, you do need to manipulate the pads to get the pin to slide through easily.
But in no mean to force the guide pin by force to slide through the holes.
You slide the pins with caliper off the car or on the car.
Per BMW process, pads need to be installed with pins on the caliper while the caliper’s off the car.
Also, the front pads no side specific.
Only the rear has inner and outer designation.
