I would guess those are the wrong shoes. I had the same problem with the brakes on an Eaton HO 52, and it took 3 tries at Napa to get the right ones.

The place where the pushrods for the brake cylinder slides into needs to be bigger. They should slide right in easily.

Did you keep the old shoes? if so, check them for the exact same dimensions. Mine were off just like yours.

Good luck.
