Most modelers are running Kaddees, or one of the brands of Kaddee knock offs. You may not get an answer to this one. If I remember correctly, the uncoupling ramp for a horn hook consists of two springs that catch the trip pins and push them together, to uncouple. I think you have come into them slow, and stop with the couplers you want to unhook directly over the ramp. Alignment is critical, if the ramp isn't sticking up enough to engage the trip pins, or the trip pins are too high, they won't uncouple. I hope this helps you.
