You are correct, the orange spring goes forward;it is lighter and lets the lead shoe go out first. To get you through the inspection, adjust the shoes out rather close to the drums. That will minimize the grabbing. I'm assuming all is clean and dry in there.

Later you will have to indulge in the rather elaborate procedure for centering the shoes in the drums correctly in order to get the best performance. That is elsewhere on this site, and I'm sure Howard can direct you.
