craftsman riding mower 917.276600 deck brakes not even.

its a YS4500 craftsman riding mower the brakes on the right side of the deck is only 1/4 contacting the pully. I adjusted the arm nut, but it seems like the problem is the cable. How can I adjust the cable leading to the deck right brake?????

I am assuming that the leading edge of the brake material is making contact with the side of the pulley. If that is true then stop overthinking it,..Before you have full brake material contact it will wear through the brake material and the backing metal plate before it makes full contact.
