What am I doing wrong with the Guimond Method?

[royzabeast]

I can hardly get past step 2 of the Guimond Method, where you are supposed to apply one of the 16 algorithms. When I see which one I'm supposed to use, I do all the moves and it seems as if it gets neither sides oriented. A few times it worked, most times it hasn't. Did somebody go through something similiar with this, because I feel like I'm making a simple mistake that I can't identify.

PS. I'm using a Mefferts 4x4 as my 2x2, not that I think that makes a difference.

Put the unoriented corner on the LBD spot (and just so your know, the bottom sticker color should face to the left when you do this). Then do one of the algs.

Sometimes the oriented sides don't stay on U/D and end up on L/R or F/B. Since you still have to do separation afterward it can be hard to notice this.

I use a 4x4 as a 2x2 cube until the ice cube [ D: ] I ordered comes, and I had the same problem as you when I first tested out Guimond. I figured out that either:
1.) The sides ended up on L/R or F/B faces, and vault said.
2.) Or I didn't put the unoriented cubie on the first layer in the DBL spot, which is what Emersonn was kinda saying.

Edit:
Can't remember what I wanted to edit.
