I was wondering if anybody on here knew how to tighten the e-brake cable, or if it is even adjustable...

The second nut is to act as a lock nut and stop the first one vibrating itself loose. You should try to find one to fit or you could put some threadlock onto the first nut or an actual locking nut rather than 2 nuts.
Tighten the cable with the first one then tighten the second one against the first one whilst holding the first one in place. This would lock them together and hopefully make it more difficult to turn itself,
