When I put my car in drive and let it crawl forward, there is this metallic clanking noise heard from the front right wheel. Once I get to 15 MPH the noise stops. I’ve tried poking at the rotor back plate and it seems fine, and I can’t see anything loose.

It sounds like the brake pads could be worn or they are missing the anti-rattle clips on the pads. Also, I would make sure the lug nuts are tight. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. It could be a sway bar issue as well. There is a diagram of the front suspension in the images below with a generic guide on how to find front end noises.

In the second diagram you can see the clips I am talking about. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
