Take a penlight and peer into the slots before you tug on the knobs. In
addition to needing to be pulled straight out by the shaft, they need
to be offset a little up or down, depending on which knob. 2 need to go
up and 2 down.
The reason seems to be that the knob shaft (insertion joke here) is not
on the same plane as the actual metal control lever.
If you don't do this, the control lever "socket" on the inner end of
the knob shaft hits the inside of the faceplate.
