Default Issues installing Power Stop Drums

Hey guys, first post here,

So i am having some issues installing a set of Power Stop Drums, got a whole kit from them, just needed a brake job all around.

I got the KOE15085DK, i checked and double checked and its supposed to fit my 1997 Honda Civic LX 4 Door non-abs.

I took everything apart installed them correctly following pictures i took of how the old stuff was installed on there and also using a shop manual, but the new drum just wont fit over the assembly don't matter how i try line up the pads at all.

I screwed the adjuster all the way in, i compressed the wheel cylinder in, i took it apart 4 times now trying to make sure it wasn't a me installing issue, but the drum just wont go on. I need help on what could be preventing me from installing them honestly and PS has not gotten back to me yet. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

EDIT: It has been resolved, the auto drum adjuster that came with the powerstop kit were damaged by about 0.1mm not allowing them to sit all the way in the notches between the pads. Just reused the old ones since they were actually perfectly fine. It was almost undiscernible until i took measurements with a caliper...
