Help! Weak handbrake mk7

hey guys, I have 2014 I recently did a full brake job on - and now the handbrake is engaging until 10-11 clicks... previously it wouldn't go higher than 7, and it's rock solid at that.

And now, even at 11 clicks, it barely holds.

The handbrake arms on the caliper looks good - about 1-3mm of play between it and the stop when fully released - after 3 clicks, the arm goes up about 3-5mm.

Any suggestions? Do I just adjust the cable inside the center console or can I fine tune on the caliper side? Am not really looking forward to take apart half my interior. Lol

Thank you
