Couple of thoughts.
When I set mine up I set the shoes close to the drums, just a couple of mm gap, so when brakes applied they had little travel and so little space to twist. With all new parts might the shoes be to far from the drum?
Alternatively you don't mention new springs, again in my limited experience, with the small amount of space it is easy to distort/twist/bend the springs as you are trying to get them onto the shoe hooks. That might result in uneven pull and so twisting, or allowing twist if old and weakened?
Over to someone cleverer and with more than experience than me...

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
