Try to pay attention to where you are flicking. With your front foot, it should be coming off the board above the nose. Here's a video from Braille skateboarding breaking the trick down [VIDEO] (skip to 3:04 since anything before that he's just talking about other stuff)

I do this [VIDEO] before I start practicing them to make sure I'm flicking in the right place and to warm up my front foot's flicking muscles. I guarantee you it'll help, alongside going full send.

I highly recommend watching this and then seriously practicing what is mentioned to help form that muscle memory! [VIDEO]
