Wouldn't the distinguished name of your ldap group be just "cn=pwmNewAdmins,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"?
I have the same problem. I have created an admin group:
dn: cn=admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
When I do a ldapsearch I get one hit:
ldapsearch -b cn=admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W
Enter LDAP Password:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <cn=admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#
# admins, Groups, example.com
dn: cn=admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: posixGroup
cn: admins
gidNumber: 10000
description: Group account
memberUid: adminuser
# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success
# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1
Entered the following into the 'Administrator Group DN' field:
cn=admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
But I get the error "No matching admin users".

Got it working now.
I had configure the overlay memberof attribute.
Followed this instruction: https://technicalnotes.wordpress.com/2014/04/19/openldap-setup-with-memberof-overlay/
I have tried both memberof and jus the dn.
I either get the 5079 error or no results when it checks.
Thanks
