May have had to back them off to remove the hubs & should have tightened them up after reinstalling the hubs, at least that's the way I do mine.
Here's a set of right & left brake backing plates, note the magnets on the bottom of each, should always be on the bottom, if the axles were/are upside down that magnet would be up, the 5 bolts seen in the center hold this assembly to the axle tube & only fit one way onto the tube, shown in this pic is how they are mounted.
