Default Drum brake and shoe replacement

I have a 2000 Honda civic DX, i haven't done drum brakes in forever and I'm having some problems. I was replacing the rear drum brake, and the piston thing accidentally popped out, so I think air got in the lines?

Anyways I finished the brakes, and the shoe/ drum rub really bad when I drive
I tried adjusting the star wheel but have had no luck.


Also now the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor without providing much stoppage. I tried bleeding just that back left side but it didn't help. Would bleeding all 4 make a difference? Thanks

Okay so I jacked the car up on 4 jack stands and bled every side, then I drove the car in reverse and pulled the ebrake a bunch of times and hit the brakes a bunch, its working now. Guess there was just a lot of air there
