Rear Brakes please help

Hi again, I've noticed that the rear drum on the drivers side is getting hot, so today I've striped it all down on both sides and all seems on, The handbrake is returning so no sticking handbrake cable adjusted the shoes up bit at a time and put wheel back on and span it a few times all seems fine so then moved on to adjust the handbrake making sure it's not binding. Took the car for a drive and the off side drum is getting hot very hot so I let it cool down and slackened off the handbrake cable to the point there is no tension on it at all but the drum is still getting hot ??? What am I doing wrong

. I can't say I've been pulling my hair out because I ain't got any
