I have tried similar, and they don't fit.

That would drive me crazy, could you at least thread them the other way through the brackets so they sit next to each other? Re-useable ones tend to have a rounder head but usually need to be around a larger diameter to work. What is it you’re trying to achieve?

You could wire tie them.

Just to make them look less Industrial.

Smaller black zipties always look better. I don't like c-clips, they rarely fit properly and either fall off or the cable slips through leaving a massive loop at the derailleur end.

you only need a tiny cable tie, match the frame colour, cut it tidy, tuck the head against the stop and they're perfect

In my experience, not for those double/triple ones.

Also in my experience though and as others have stated, the clips tend to be a bit shit, a zip tie is much more secure.
