The bleed nipple will be in the back of the slave cylinder, around the back of the drum. But you might find it has already sheared off, so you might need another set if you're unlucky.

Shouldn't need bleeding for a new set of shoes?
I'd look else where for the issue.
Fitted shoes wrong popped a piston out etc.

How do you know you adjusted it right? You sure you haven't backed them right off?

Even if rear brakes are adjusted the wrong way, pedal surely shouldn't go to the floor.
Sounds like a leak somewhere to me.
Have you gotten your head under it, and checked all the brakehoses, and if there's coming out brakefluid from the rear brakecylinders?
