The amp draw s/b close to 3 amps per wheel. Have you measured it? Either high or low is bad.
I assume you are experienced in drum brakes? Might be best to have a second experienced person help inspect the braking action one at a time.
Could be the shoes need to wear in a bit and this could take some time if the drums were not turned.

I recently changed the brake pads (12" X 2" 6K Axles) on my 2007 Cedar Creek Fifth Wheel trailer and adjusted as per manufacturer recommendations but the brakes are now week.
I have approximately 50% of braking capacity that I had prior to the change of pads.
I tried listening for the magnets pulling into the inner drums but only heard humming at each wheel. ...
the magnets actually engaging with the drums
1) I re-inspected and compared before and after photos taken in the duration of this task to verify all parts were re-installed correctly.
2) I re-adjusted the tension (more drag) on the brakes but I am not comfortable with the latest adjustment but it did increase braking slightly
