Severe pulling to right when braking

When I apply brakes the car veers to the left severely.
I set the brakes identical, yet after braking, I check the brakes , they seem okay yet the right wheel is free wheeling as if the brake shoe is set loose. The adjuster seems to have moved. I tries several to set the brakes and seem to get nowhere.
The front brake cylinders are new and bled correctly. All the brake hardware is new.

Ross has a good video in setting brakes, maybe there is something that will be helpful. Maybe one set of shoes isn't centered? Were the shoes fit to the drums?

Did you lubricate the raised points on the backing plate with Lubriplate? Sounds like something is not seated correctly or the adjuster is stripped.
