Default TICKING From Front End After Tranny Install - Relative To Wheel Speed

I blew my tranny this week, took me a good 6 hours to get it installed by myself which sucked, went out for a test drive yesterday and there is an audible ticking coming from what I believe to be my drivers side wheel

Its definetely gets faster and slower depending on speed, but it sounds like it would be the equivalent to one click per rotation of the tire

The car was not making this noise when I took the trans out

Things I installed/changed
-drivers side axle boot clamp was loose and was slightly leaking grease, I cut it, shoved a little wheel bearing grease in there and clamped it with a high quality stainless hose clamp TIGHT
-drivers side axle didnt have a c-clip on the tranny side, I added one

Thats all that was changed

Need some help

Thanks guys

I would say check your cvs' that would be my first guess, do you have all your bolts on your tire would be my second, and if not the only other thing it could be is a look bolt, when you were putting back together.. I would say if these dont take car of it its probably internal

Im thinking its the hose clamp posibly

Does the end of the axle boot come extremely close to anything?
