Default e-brake not working. cables move, brakes work

A while ago, i did the rear disc on my 94 del sol vtec. new pads and rotors and i cleaned out and re-lubed sliding pins. i remember when putting the e-brake cables back on for one side or maybe both, that i had to turn the mechanism to line up the hole on the cable correctly. when doing this it slipped or gave way and made a loud pop and then i was able to line it up correctly. brakes work fine back there and make good pad rotor contact. the e-brake cables move in cabin and on calipers but e-brake does not do anything at all. btw one side is a swapped out for a different caliper if it matters.

hope i dont have to get new calipers but if i do rsx/ep3 here i come.

Have you checked where the Ebrake handle connects to the cables, there's an adjuster there to change the slack.
