what happened to these grafts? and what should I do when I try again other than make fresh clean cuts?

it was difficult to hold the weirdly shaped crests in place, but they seemed connected properly... did I apply too much pressure? not enough ?

I pulled them off after 5 days when it was obvious they were not taking so I'd have a chance to redo it before they rotted.

I'm considering a V graft, like with trees to ensure more contact and less shifting.
