The well nuts from HD suck, sorry to say, Klock Werks makes a version that is easier to use and is easier to re-use. I use them on the windshield for my Road Glide.

Are you installing new or re-using old? If re-using, first thing I do is screw in a screw and push out the back so the rubber is no longer compressed. They will not go back in the hole if compressed and bulbous. Hope that helps.
