Yes.
With the way the system works, adjusting the shoes is the first thing that should be done. You're kind of doing it backwards. You should adjust the shoes, the bell cranks, then finally the handle.
If you don't want to do the work of taking the wheels off, take it back to the shop and tell them your parking brake isn't work right since they replaced the shoes and maybe they'll adjust it for you. For the record, you could adjust the shoes without taking the wheels off, but you do need to get them off the ground. There are lots of posts about this on the forum.
