1078 Brake problem

I recently lost a wheel bearing and had to get towed to a shop. When bearing went it caused differential oil to contaminate my brake shoes. While the shop had it, I had them go ahead and service all the brakes. I’m now having a problem with one of my rear brakes, locking up during medium breaking. That same break needed a new brake chamber. The original was damaged, probably since I had the truck and I never noticed it. I’m not sure if the brake chamber has a problem or if it’s simply adjusted too tight. I had to re-adjust all the brakes because the shop didn’t get it right. I also think one of my adjusting bolts on the front is not functioning properly. when I turn the star. It doesn’t seem to move the shoe. I’m thinking the star has disconnected from the bolt itself. I’m going to talk to the shop on Monday but at this point I think I’m going to have to fix it myself.
Any thoughts on why the back brake is locking up?

Positive that the replacement canister is the same size as the original and all the others?
No I’m not actually. That is something I’ve been trying to figure out. It looks the same as the others. I got it from Midwest. It’s a reman they sell. My truck is a 1998 A0 so it was one of the last a0 trucks. It has “newer” chambers than the older trucks. Are there more than one version of the newer chambers?
