The Wheel cly. pistons will leak if pushed into the bore past the fluid hole.
I would continue assembly,then adjust the shoe out a little but still just be able to put the drum on.
Dry/clean everything off install the drum,loosely and apply the brakes a few times and then remove the drum and check for leaks.
I'm sure you will find all is well.
You need to Read Paul Cook's web page on brakes.
One of the best out there.
