2001 cabrio, how to adjust rear calipers for correct parking brake operation?

New brake pads installed on all 4 wheels, but now parking brake does not work. I suspect that some adjustment was not made. This is a 2001 VW cabrio with manual transmission.

Who installed the calipers? The parking brake is adjusted from under the center console at the ebrake handle.
