Stan,
Hopefully you haven't turned the drums because the only way to fix it is to turn them again.
Bolt the hubs to the drums using the small flathead screws, then I tighten all 5 of my lug nuts on backwards...tapered side facing out. The small screws aren't strong enough to hold that big drum when being turned.
Take them to a good brake shop...preferably one with a few old timers & make sure they take the absolute bare minimum off. Also make sure they wrap their big rubber vibration belt around the drums when they turn them or they'll destroy them. The drums are so deep that they go nuts with vibration without a proper vibration damper.
