Have you tried cracking a bleed valve at that point, to see if the fluid is
under pressure in the rear cylinders ? IMO that is more likely than a
spring problem. If opening a bleed valve releases the brakes, then you know
it's a hydraulic problem.

I don't recall for sure which holes offhand, but I'm certain the springs
should not be at an angle. As I recall, it's the pair of holes farthest
from both the adjuster and the cylinder.
