I assume you purchased aftermarket/imitation moldings? They have known fitment problems, which you may eventually have to take up with the seller. That aside, are all the clips seated correctly on the trim and in the door?

If you cannot find any thing local, you might have better luck with these. M3 Door Moldings

I have those and can't keep some of them clipped in place. Even replaced the clips with OEM and they still pop off. Yes the holes are original size/location.
I went with used regular trim pieces and have had no trouble with them attaching and staying attached.

I wonder if one could use a heat gun to "persuade" them to fit a little better.

That's what I was thinkin'. Could work, or it could end in disaster. Probably the latter...
