have you sprayed plenty of brake cleaner on that area to clean up any rust or corrosion so the shoes will slide ok? (remember to use non-chlorinated brake cleaner so it won't ruin rubber or tar)

use moly grease on the contact points of the shoes to the back plate for easy sliding.

you may need to adjust them tight to get the rotor on, then check the play, pull off the rotor, adjust them outward, check the play...etc.

good luck
