Maybe you didn't get it wide enough. I think mine is 3/16ths on both sides, so I don't have to worry about the spokes. You don't see it in daytime on black rims, but shows best at 45 degree angle. I don't know how it works at 90 degrees. I think ok. Now I'm combining it with reflective sidewalls. Best of both worlds.
Thinking about it, your problem may be rim brakes. I have disc brakes so the black tape is from the spokes to the rim border.
