Just bought my wife a new bike with hydraulic disk brakes. The rear brake lever makes this clicking sound when applying. Any advice?

You may have disc brakes, but those levers are not hydraulic. Could be that you have cable-actuated hydraulic calipers, or they might just be full on mechanical disc brakes. Either way, there’s a cable going to that lever, and some extra slack in the one on the right. This is causing the cable head to click against the lever every time you pull it tight.
How do they feel compared to one another?
It’s not slack.
The cable is corroded and not staying taut in the housing.
The click is your brake cable popping back into position in the lever
New brake cable and possibly housing.
