If there is not any oil contamination on the shoes and the drums are not glazed up then I would pull it back apart and look at the shoes you will likely see some shined up spots that were doing the work and a large surface area of the shoes that has not yet been able to contact the drum.
Sometimes chamfering the lining on the ends of the shoes can help improve the fit, you will know better once you look.
On big truck brakes some use a rig that mounts on the axle tube to perfectly machine the shoes for an exact fit to what the drums measure.
Others use grinding machines that holds the shoes in a jig for a fitting cut.
Mounting the backing plate in a lathe with the shoes secured to it and turning to size is another option.
Either way the end result is full contact of the shoes to the drums and excellent stopping from the get go opposed to wearing them in over time which on a tractor could take years.
