The EF51 unless being the adjustable version only works on V-brakes.

I'm really not sure, attempting to learn, get aggravated, curse at it, and hopefully get it all working.
You need the 4 Finger version, which will have a 4 in the part# suffix.
That's NOT always indicated on Amazon etc.
They have a plastic "plug" that can be located in either of 2 positions for canti or V brakes.
