Those keepers are supposed to be a friction fit. should fit pretty snug. Maybe you need new ones that are not worn out from age. They may not be expanding back out once you hammer them in.

It's been a long time since I have worked on that style of brake, only thing I could suggest, maybe the parts store sold you the wrong ones, and they are smaller than what you should have. just guessing, but I have been sold wrong parts many times.
