Anyway to adjust it perfectly so the pads aren't touching the disc when rotating freely?
The alignment can be changed due to the amount of force applied to the fork by the squewer. Always try to tighten it the same way to minimize this.
To solve this:
1) Readjust the squewer as you normally would.
2) Unscrew a bit the caliper mounting bolts or adjustment screws
3) Press the brake lever and at the same time tighten the bolts (may need help here)
4) Rotate and verify for drag
If it keeps draging repeat the first 2 steps and go by eye until you get it right, it's not rocket science.
