Booster Rockets Not Detaching

[mister_ed13]

So I've seen people with similar problems to mine, and I have tried to fix my rocket with the answers that I have seen flying around, but nothing has worked. My problem is that my solid rocket boosters, which are mounted to the sides of my rocket, wont detach whatever I do. I've tried mounting them on radial decouplers, which, when triggered, just fall off the rocket and leave the boosters attached. Next I used separatrons, which just burned out and almost melted my main fuel tanks! And guess what! The boosters were STILL there!!! The launch is going swimmingly, all the stages work fine except for that one! Can someone please help me out!

Sounds buggy. Are they modded boosters or stock?

Not buggy, you just didn't attach the boosters to the decopolars proubally.

A pic would be helpfull.

You have to click directly on the decoupler when you place the boosters. The hover-text should say "radial decoupler" or "detachment manifold" or whatever, otherwise you're actually clicking on the tank behind it and it'll just fuse to the tank instead of being detachable. I regularly make this mistake with the manifolds because it's so hard to see whether those giant tanks are attached properly.

Yes, I do that too.

And me.  It's so easily done.  

It can be a bit fiddly getting them in the right place at times, so at a guess I'd say that's quite likely the cause.
