When facing the drum is different for each side...
The shoe with the longer pads are installed to the rear of the van. I usually put them on first because they have the parking brake linkage/cable to connect and hold them on with the spring-nail retainer. The self-adjuster cable should go from the center anchor (top) around cable guide on the rear shoe to the adjuster mechanism on the rear shoe.
If you do on side at a time you can use the other side as a reference.
