rim or brake pads shouldn’t make a difference should it?
The pads move in an arc, so rim width makes a very slight difference to effective drop. Not all pads/shoes are precisely centred on the holding screw. Rims with the same bead seat diameter don't necessarily have exactly the same overall diameter.

Do shimano 105 br5800 come in different drop/reach sizes or am I dumb: I had one on my bike with different pads and a different rim and it reached the brake track fine, put another one on and it’s no bueno - too short. The rim or brake pads shouldn’t make a difference should it?
