transmission noise after clutch change

So I just replaced the clutch in my R53 with the Valeo solid flywheel conversion. I also pulled my LEFT axle to replace the CV boot. (Yes , I put that back together as previously aligned)

Clutch pedal felt great. Drove fine except slight steering wiggle coming off pedal acceleration.

ISSUE: After 10 miles or so, started hearing some noise (whirring/grinding) while in gear driving. Noise would go away once I pushed the clutch in. No distinct noise in neutral stationary pedal in or out.

UPDATE: Getting slight buzzing stationary, in neutral, pedal in & out, same with in gear. Most notable when in gear driving. Seems to go away driving clutch pedal in and/or in neutral.

NEED HELP DIAGNOSING.
