Thanks all- I had some luck today by straightening out the brake itself and matching the timing of when the pads were hitting the rim. I think I will try and bring the brake closer to the fork crown and might even try the Sheldon nut if I have no luck there.
For all that the internet is, I am so thankful for this place of cordial encouragement, mutual celebration, and helpful people.
