Try playing simple stuff, like scales first (if you aren't already)
It may be just a case of getting used to playing on the piccolo.
Also, if you're tonguing, its going to have to be a little short and more deliberate than you're used to, you can't hit "close enough" on a piccolo (i'm not saying you necessarily do but that definitely helped me...)
