Unhappy Handbrake not working after rear caliper rebuild

Alright, so after fully disassembling the rear calipers, cleaning most of the rust off, replacing all the rubber and reassembling I appear to have handbrake issues. The cables are fine, the actuator hooks that are pulled by the cables spin nicely until they hits their limiters (not at the same time, for some reason).

The handbrake lever goes high up. When it's at the highest position the wheels are held hard enough to prevent turning by hand, but not nearly enough to hold the car in place, I can just drive around with the lever poking at the ceiling.

I need some insight here, where could I have screwed up? Is there a special procedure to put those hooks back in place? Could I have not inserted the handbrake mechanism ring retainers back in the cylinder bore properly?
