I think the bike problem is the adjustment of the pads themselves. They need to be adjusted so the front of the pad contacts the rim first by a few micromillimeters and motion of the rim pulls the pad flush to the rim
I'd also consider swapping the hardware around and try and get that fat washer on the inside of the arm, you might be trying to close the brake past it's optimal leverage point
