My problem with these little items has always been with a carpet using
thick felt padding underneath. I've taken to cutting a hole in the
felt, and then just putting the snaps through the carpet itself. If
anyone else has insight into a better way to do this, I'd love to hear
it! Thanks!

this?
I have found that I can usually just put the carpet in the desired
position
then press very hard against the male snap... this will leave an
impression
on the underside of the carpet that I use to locate the snap to be
installed. If the impression is too faint a bit of chalk or such on the
male snap may leave a better mark.
