Rear brake assembly - am I doing it right?

[1964C10]

Happy Monday to all!!
I am putting my rear drum brakes back together on my 64 C10 12 bolt, and I wanted to know if I have put everything back together correctly before I get going further. I took several before pictures and it appears to be right but I wanted to be sure, specifically about the little "cups" that go inside the brake pad where the retainer spring sits and also the ebrake cable. The cable seems to bunch up a little but when I pull on the cable everything evens out so I think its just because the other end is not connected to anything yet. The other reason for asking because this went together rather smoothly I didn't skip any steps apparently where I had to take some back off again and that just seems like such a rare occasion hahahah. I remember rear drums always being a PIA.

Also what is the best way to "preadjust" the brake with the adjuster?
Thanks all!!

To pre adjust, I would put the drum on, and adjust it until the drum has a little bit of resistence on it, but still spins somewhat freely.

Looks good...looks like you have a primary shoe in the right spot too.

Pre-adjust as he mentioned.

Thanks guys!! Yeah I looked at several pictures noticing little differences, especially the primary shoe. BTW I painted the backplate with brake caliper paint, wow is that stuff hard!! I painted over the points where the brake shoes rest on and I scrapped them clean with a razor blade and that was very very tough going, I tried lacquer thinner as well but that barely made the rag black. So if you ever need something painted with tough paint and can't afford powder coat, this is the way to go!
