Default Rear wheel studs R n R

I'm working on the rear parking brake and wanted to replace the rear studs, of coarse the one broken one came out easily, the rest are too long, what's the secret to replacing them ?

The slightly shorter stud will work.

I had a pic showing the grind I did on the head but it's long gone.
It's basically just enough grind to take the blunt edge off one side of the head.
No holes drilled in the backing plate.
