No. you were doing it right. Tighten them "snug" while on the jack, then tighten when on the ground. The reason for this is that the wheel will not spin when on the ground so you can set them tight without the wheel spinning (or the pulling the car off the jack)
My problem was that I don't thin the wheel was straight so that it was completely against the hub when I tightened the nuts.
