Can't Get Hub On

In the photo: flip the left spring over so the coil is not resting on the shoe. The way it is now, the pull from the two springs is not equal. It also looks to me like the adjusting shaft on the left shoe is longer than the one on the right. Either of those could contribute to the shoes being off center. Maybe you should start with new adjusting shafts for both shoes, rather than futzing around with them now that you've ground them?

Also, I think there’s supposed to be a long spring between the two shoes at the adjuster end?
