You don't turn down the star wheel, you turn it up. With the adjuster removed from the assembly, it is possible to spin the threaded end completely out of its body. This means that you cannot max it out!

The picture and explanation is ambiguous to those who aren't familiar with how properly installed star adjuster works.

First check that your adjuster only spins one way. It should only be able to be turned upwards and it should clicks as it turns. My sister in laws recently purchased used 07 Yaris had the same issue on one of the rear shoes. It looks like it is installed properly but the one of the ends of the star adjuster is flipped and because of that it will not ratchet. This leads it to always backing off and loosening your e brake.

I am also confused as to what you have actually checked vs what is being glossed over and assumed correct. Or just go to the Toyota tech you talked to and have him fix it. But trust us when we say you do not need to touch the adjuster at your e brake. All the adjustment can be had at your star adjuster even for those that track their cars. This is assuming that everything is installed correctly, and I am not all that confident this is the case here
