Ever had self adjusting brakes overtighten?

sometimes it makes a difference which spring is hooked onto the top anchor, first. In other words, which spring overlaps which at the top anchor. I think that it has to do with moving the spring away just enough so it's not contacting the wheel cylinder in operation. If you consult the FSM for your year, model and brake size, that will be the final word on which overlaps which. When you finally get everything together correctly, and the shoes are pulled up against the top anchor and return there after application, you can use some pliers to bend the top anchor spring loops together somewhat so that the open end of the spring hook is parallel to the spring wire leading to the anchor. I hope I'm explaining that correctly. Does that make sense to you?
