Egg Beaters, New cleats, difficult to engage/disengage

All,
I XC trail ride.
I think there is something up.
I just purchased my 3rd pair of SL's (yes I wore out the first two)
The new pedals came with a very small cleat, no side to side adjustment, just two holes and no washer plate.
They look like the inserts in the three hole adapter.
I have never had issues engaging, or disengaging, I get on and go, get off and go.
Engaging just seemed to happen when I put my foot on the pedal. seemless.
Not any more.
With these new cleats it seems to take repeated hits to find the pedal, very unerving.
All of a sudden I am a rank ammature(ok I am anyway but..)
I have taken several signifigant falls while trying to engage.. or reingage..
I have had to stop and make several attempts...
I have never used the shims before...

There is something up with this new cleat.

Anyone else having this issue?
If it common I will simply go find some old style cleats... or do I have to suck this up?
tks,
S
