**edit** that spring in yellow is either installed upside down or is stretch/malformed and needs to be replaced. I think upside down though. Check this picture:



The spring I circled in yellow looks like is hooked to the wrong spot. The blue circled spring pulls the lever mechanism to the left forcing the bottom of the mechanism to pivot and contact the star wheel. But that Yellow circled spring looks like the bottom of it is hooked to an incorrect spot changing the angle of the pull just a little. In the pictures I took of my brakes that spring has fewer coils below the point of that yellow retaining spring just to the right than yours does. You can just see it in the picture I posted

Also, your star wheel isn't adjusted out at all. It might be that after you spin it out a bit the angle of the brake will change making that bar contact the adjusting wheel.

Of course its late so I could be talkin out of my a$$
