The Fortress brand of fluke/Danforth anchor, and some others that people have success with, make specific note of the angle their flukes are limited to, the shape of the flukes, and not having a slip ring to flip the anchor backwards.

As Rattletrap noted above, what I posted is what he had that didn't work.

Check your anchor closely. My fluke anchor was slightly bent and the tips would not extend down all the way on one side. It looked OK until you looked closer. It would not set at all. Once I made sure it could flip flop back and forth properly it worked great.

I also zip tied the slip ring at the top and that helped a lot.
