Could be height. With our son, whoever was tallest had the hardest time, because his chin never sat properly on the shoulder and the pats did nothing. Walking slowly while patting worked better. You'll find your own way in a few weeks.
with my daughter it was the other way round, only my partner could do it. turned out I was patting too softly because I was scared of hurting her. ask the doctor or nurse at the next vaccine visit to watch you do it once, that's what sorted it for me
