Default Slapping and popping bass

I can't do it! *cries*

I've been watching YouTube tutorials but the sound I get when I do it just sucks. The main thing is that my popping is way louder than my slapping and it just sounds crap, I can't dooo itttt. I can only make a good slapping sound on low E string open, everything else sounds rubbish... especially us you move to higher notes on the fretboard (i.e. closer to the body).

Does anyone have any tips? I suck.
