You might consider learning tongue-blocking if you're not using that technique. It's a much easier way to locate yourself on the harp. Just my $.02.

If you can play a single hole and are just having trouble going from one hole to another, then maybe just play a scale, start with the 4 blow hole, play the following 4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7 7, and then play it in reverse, do it slowly at first making sure to get each note then practice increasing your speed as you feel more comfortable. Don't rush it as it will come with time and practice, and as Walt suggested if not using tongue blocking definately at some point try to learn it along with puckering technique to see which is better for you.
