don't you just reattach the cable & when everything's together, step on the brake n pull up on the parking brake lever. the screw adjusters on the calipers would adjust the pads to the rotors.

On your ebrake on the inside of the cabin. On the lever you'll see a small hole on the rubber housing of the ebrake under the lever. Stick a 8mm socket in there and tighten it that way. I think oem number of clicks is 6-8.
