Could be that your sheet metal is stripped out, but also possible they're the wrong size. IIRC, there's two barrel sizes possible, like 5/16" and 3/8" or something (don't quote me on the specifics) and the catalogs often list the wrong one.
I think on mine after getting the wrong ones repeatedly, I ended up reaching through and putting a nut on the back side. However, my truck was cut for speakers in the kick panel area, and even with that it required three elbows and a pint of blood to reach
Post up the make and part # of what you got and we may be able to give you an alternate.

Door Jamb Switch Front-Left/Right Standard DS173T from ebay
Well, crap. I can't find any evidence of a different part number, except for later trucks.
I went and looked and I put a nut on the back side of mine, looks like 5/16" coarse thread. As mentioned it's a PITA to get back there, but the world will end before those switches come loose.
