New Rear Drum - Rear Shoes clicking, do they need breaking-in?

Put some new Rear Drums from Napa on the rear.

My right rear is now "clicking" when i press the pedal lightly.
When i heavy brake, it stops.The clicking appears to be the shoes taping against the backplate. There are no rub marks on any shoes, drums or other surfaces.

EDIT: I readjusted the 'clickers' so the pads touched the drum while turning, they were pretty loose, this fixed the problem.

Try applying the brakes in reverse and coming to a complete stop several times.
