My rotors are not fitting over the new ebrake shoes. Everything looks good, I am quite sure they are installed properly.

I had the same problem to a point where i managed to get the rotors on but only to have the wheel lock up on me when I tried to drive. The problem with mine was that you don't mix and match the new shoes, springs, the adjuster etc with the old ones. Especially the adjusters( that bottom part) are different in overall length when fully shortened, and the shoes are made specifically to match for them. For example, the shoe might have thicker pads on them but the adjuster that came with it is short in over all lenght to compensate for the thicker shoes. And vice versa. My suggestion would be to use the new adjusters thingy if your shoes came with them or buy new ones and make sure its same brand/ company. I learned the hard way, because after the wheel locked up on me, i had a hell of a time taking it off. Don't mess with the rotors at all.
I hope this helps. -------------------- 3sgteing.
