All this to say the star wheel adjusters work just fine.
Have you ever pulled your drums off? Sounds like something is going on with your rear passenger drum mechanism?!? Unless your car has a European-type setup, these cars don't use star wheel adjusters in the brake drums.
The picture on the left is the drum setup on my 2015. The picture on the right was posted by someone in Europe. Notice that my 2015 drum brakes do not use a star wheel adjuster.
