Ok, I looked at your pictures, and you are not getting the full use out of those finger picks, and I want to make it MUCH easier for you.
Your picks are intended to be strengthening of your fingertips, not extensions of them. The picks are made to guard your tips and contour to your fingertips, that's why they're rounded like that. It's meant to have your fingertips in the curve of the picks. The grips are meant to be around BEHIND your fingernails, not gripping on them.
I use Yates fingerpicks http://www.yatesbanjos.com/picks.htm because I make the blanks and then Warren Yates modifies them into picks, but I've seen many and have had MANY conversations about picks, and they are meant to mimic your fingertips.
Imagine that you are playing the banjo with no picks, and you learn well and you are a pickless player, and then someone comes along and offers you metal guards for your existing fingertip playing, and the only difference is that your fingertips are now metal. That's how finger picks should be worn.

Thumb pick? That's a different story. Buy and wear the rainbow ones like this: Golden Gate Thumb Picks https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Gate-Confetti-Thumb-Picks/dp/B0052S3UZM/ref=sr_1_4?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1466475754&sr=1-4&keywords=golden+gate+thumb+picks I'm telling you, with Yates finger picks formed to your fingers, and this thumb pick, it's like playing a grand piano makes a novice sound better.
Also buy yourself a good $2000 banjo and knock your own socks off.
I forgot to say, that I LOVE that you are learning to play banjo! It's hard, and practicing a thousand times the same lick, is the way to get good. I subscribe to Banjo Ben, and have a lifetime membership and I've learned a LOT from his teachings. If you can get lessons from someone locally DO IT. It will help you so much!
All of this being said, this is my experience, and unsolicited advice is what you pay for it! But I hope that I can be helpful to you, at LEAST on how to wear picks. Goodness what you're doing looks so painful and I just had to write because it hurts me to look at those pictures!
