I can't finish the D'arce Choke

I have gotten what I think is the proper positioning several times with this move but I can't seem to finish it. I have tried both rotation my body towards my opponents head as well as rotating my body towards their feet. I try to get it in as deep as I can and apply the pressure properly by lifting my elbow and pushing my shoulder down at the same time. I try to make sure that the blade of my forearm is going into their throat as well. I have tried sprawling out and I have tried not sprawling out.I just can't seem to get it. I have referred to the following videos as well as Eddie Bravo's books:

YouTube - Side Control - Knee On Stomach Darce Choke

YouTube - Jason "Mayhem" Miller - "Canadian Darce Choke"

YouTube - D'arce Choke

YouTube - Aoki - Spinning Choke Pt. #1

I realize this might be a lot to ask from a forum post, but any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Tbone
