Default LED Dome Lights Not Working?

So I ordered this LED interior kit for my 10' F150. Consists of Map lights, Dome lights, License plate lights, Cargo lights and some spares. Every light works except the Dome lights. I tried all x3 and they won't work. When I pop them in place they do seem a little loose, But they are still making contact with the points...Hmmm. Any ideas?

Don't know if polarity is an issue, did you try just turning them around?

Are you saying they don't work even when swapping them around?

I got mine from F150leds and had to swap them around to make them work try that if you haven't. Other than that I'd try pushing the contact points closer together so it will hold the bulb in place I had to do that as well

They are Light Emitting Diodes. They are polarity sensitive. I have them in my truck, as well.

I tried swapping them around, I'll try again and update just to make sure, Should i try to pinch the tabs to make a tighter fit?
Thanks,
