The year, make and model would help but in most cases you can manually move the adjuster before you slide the drum on. Do this until the drum fits snug but not tight. The automatic adjusters will finish the adjustment as you drive.
you dont adjust you replace brake shoes
The pads and shoes are worn out are way down. NEED REPLACED The rear shoes are out of adjustment.
adjust the shoes
it was the e brake line was to tiet Shoes are touching the drum adjust back until freely rotating.
It he emergency brake has slack in it, then you more than likely the rear pads/shoes are worn out. Inspect the rear brakes.
If you have rear drum brakes, you have to adjust your rear brake shoes. That will also give you a better pedal and more stopping power.
Check the rear brake shoes, they self adjust in reverse.
The replacement shoes should be significantly larger than the warn units removed. The automatic adjuster has turned the star wheel adjuster open to compensate for that wear. Turn the star wheel closed and install between the shoes and the drum should go on. You will also need to adjust the brakes using a brake spoon through the hole on the rear of the backing plate after the drum is replaced.
make sure the cable adjustment is all the way off before you adjust the shoes which are inboard the rear rotor, there are specs for these but if you remove the tin cover at the rear of the shoe adjuster you can then poke a screwdriver or small brake adjuster in there an adjust till you cannot move the wheel, that will centre the h/brake shoes then back the adjuster off till the wheel spins free, then re/adjust your cable last ,,if you adjust your cable first you will only be adjusting one shoe not both ,,hope this does the job,, mick
you need to adjust the rear brakes and that will tighten up the e brake. If that doesnt help, you may need new rear brake shoes.

If the parking brake does not engage fully, the rear (shoe type) brakes need to be adjusted or replaced.
