Thats the wrong wheel cylinder by the looks of things. The cylinder you have is for the 9" drums where as those back-plates are 8" ones.

You need something along the lines of these for those backplates. :

There are a number of different cylinder internal diameters to choose from depending upon which spec car they are for. I believe these can be found in
the escort haynes manuals.

The back plates are Mark 1 Escort with 8" drums ie 1100/1300
The wheel cylinder is the wrong type it's off a mk2
The correct wheel cylinder is the same as fitted to the Triumph Herald, Viva, Imp and various other small British cars.
It is held in by two U shaped clips that interlock (the clips are a male and female).
This allows the wheel cylinder to slide in slot of the backplate.

Other thing is I think you will find the backplates are fitted to the wrong side of the car -- ie switched left to right.
