Get new wires?

Check the seal, the wire needs to snap down to the wire, you'll have to push it down till it clicks, or the wire end itself could be messed up, then you'd need new wires.

Do you have Bosch wires, if so THEY SUCK, get the OEM wires and you will be good to go.

I thought it was the plugs that wouldn't connect to the wires

Nope, the Bosch plugs just aren't tight enough to hold on. Lots of people on here have had issues with those wires.

I think it is the wires from Bosch that suck, not heard much about the plugs. I use the NGK Iridiums.
