Default 96 DS Brakes only hitting on top

Hi,
I have a Club Car DS I think it is a 96, but I've attached an image of the brake assembly that I have. It's not lifted. It was time for a brake adjustment so when I took everything apart the old pads were actually loose and attached to the drum and not the pad. The little cart has had a rough life. I ordered new pads and have installed them and completely backed out both of the bolts from the anchor body kit. The new pads are on and when I click the bolts back out until the pads are just rubbing the drum, the bottom of the pads are too far in. That results in the brake pedal doing nothing to stop the cart. Is there an adjustment that I can make to the bottom of the assembly to push the pads out from that side?

Hopefully these are enough to go on...I kept the stamps on the top and the L was on the front side (leading) and the T was at the back of the cart (trailing)

You installed the wrong brake shoes. You installed J17 shoes, you need J10s
