The mount that the shoes and springs set against at the top is an eccentric bolt, most of the time it is necessary to loosen the nut and turn the bolt to center the shoes. Only needs to turn a little one way or the other to center, when you get the drum to turn use brake spoon to tighten shoes and recenter. Tighten large nut and use spoon to loosen till drum just touches when turned. If shoes have been arced to the drum you should be good to go. Also make sure the backing plate is flush with spindel face.
