Shoes are rubbing in the middle, to small radius, good.

If the shoes rub on the ends they will grab, so if you can't arc them to the drums, they have to be small. Like yours.

I would loosen the uppers, get the lowers as close to .003 as you can, then only tighten the uppers until the rub a bit but you can still turn by hand. Ignore the feeler gauge, just make them rub while turning by hand. Brake pedal will be a bit low, and a bit soft until they wear in- the shoes will flexx until seated. Keep an eye on the temp of the hubs while driving locally, don't let them get too hot. They will wear in quickly and need re-adjust promptly.
