The ebrake is supposed to adjust itself every time you set it. Just make sure it clicks 4-6 times when you set it. I went outside just now and set my parking brake with just one click in Neutral and tried to push the car. Wouldn't budge.

Check your (regular) rear brakes as well. If you need a small brake adjustment that could be your problem.

on both my Nissans, the ebrake cable can be adjusted if you jack up the car and adjust from underneath with the lock/adjust bolt to tighten/loosen the cable. the later model Max don't have this?
