The other commonly seen possibility here is that you are trying to apply the safety with the gun uncocked. The wing safeties on Mausers only work with the rifle cocked.
I am sorry if this sounds a little basic, but others have posted this same problem here and did not know this.
Krag-Jorgensen wing-type safeties CAN be applied with the striker down, but those is the only rifles with wing safeties that I know of that can do this.
