>>966165The reason why brakes are so irritating to adjust is that they have lots of degrees of freedom. It's best to take it one step at a time and get each one ok before moving on.
Those are "traditional" centre-pull cantilever brakes.
The brakes aren't centred. At a glance, the right hand (mechanic's POV) caliper has way too shoe arm against the shoe too.
