I had this problem with my Dash 9s/AC4400s. Strangely enough, some were better than others - one loco was no trouble at all while the other two still aren't quite right. Best advice I can offer is to make sure there's no flash in the coupler pocket, and make sure the lid's smooth side is against the coupler. One thing I haven't tried, mainly due to being unable to find supplies of it, is Kadee's "Greas-em" coupler lube - this looks to be some kind of graphite granules as used to lube doorlocks judging by the instructions with the couplers.
