I did read about the difference in size. Maybe there is a mistake in the label and they are in-fact the wrong shoes.

Still the bottom cable adjuster does not appear fully retracted because the pin on the left is deeply inside the mechanism. On my car there is an automatic adjuster under the rear seat. I can release the side specific cable from the automatic adjuster under the seat to see if the adjuster is fully retracted and the brake rotor would go on.

Also I would make sure that the parking brake is completely released by pulling up on the parking brake pedal while activating the release.
