The most efficient place for a fan is behind the rad - not in front of it...
If the fan is in front of the rad it just blocks the "natural fan" of the air coming in the front of the grill...
However as Doug says - the stock fan should work perfectly well - it's likley to be something causing this other than the fans.

Maybe you should temporarily refit the stock fan (removing the electric ones), and see if that makes any difference. Then you would know if the problem was due to insufficient fanning or something else.
If you really must have an electric fan, maybe a single big one on the front of the radiator would work better. Probably somebody on the list who has actually done this can say how well it worked.
I once removed my stock fan and drove a couple of miles to see if I could detect a reduction in noise or an increase in power. (Don't get stuck in traffic while doing this!) I could not detect any significant improvement, so I put my electric fan plans on the back burner.
