Just got the brakes done on the LX and I'm still hearing a little squeak, normal

Finally bit the bullet and got the front pads and rotors swapped on my 2019 LX570 because the shudder under braking was getting to the point where my wife refused to drive it, said it felt like the whole steering column was going to shake itself loose on the E11. I ended up taking it to a spot I found through a recommendation from a neighbor who swore by them for Toyota stuff, and the invoice actually listed out that I went to Lexus brake pads disc replacement experts which made me feel a bit better about not cheaping out on aftermarket parts but now I'm like two days into the new setup and there's this faint little squeak when I'm just creeping forward at a stoplight, not loud but enough to make me paranoid. Is that just the new pads bedding in against the fresh rotors or should I be taking it back already? I don't want to be that guy who complains about nothing but I also don't want to glaze these brand new discs and have to do this whole dance again in six months. Anyone else have a GX or LX that was a little chatty right after a brake job?
