Dumb parking brake question V70-XC70 1998

All winter long, at slow speeds, I heard a squitsh, squitsh noise coming from the rear of the car. If I pulled on the parking brake, the noise would go away until I hit the next pot hole.
Well, it finally got warm enough to pull the right rear brake disk. Yep, the shoe was rubbing on the drum. But, just one end of the shoe. The entire shoe assembly can be flopped, rotated by hand, around the pivot point where the cable comes into it.
There are 2 steel brackets that keep the shoes from flopping side to side, but shouldn't the shoes also have something to keep them from going front to back??? I can see nothing broken or missing and I cannot compare it to the other rear wheel because it is still on the ground. Floor jack.
Any helpful hints??? BTDT??

EDIT: My guess is that the two spring metal clips are too weak/loose to hold the shoes in position. Can they be bent back or do I have to buy new ones?
