Sometimes this metal strip gets compressed and doesn't make contact with certain bulbs. Turn off the circuit breaker, then use pliers, etc. to pull the metal strip downwards to ensure it'll make contact with the tip of new lightbulb.
Perhaps the old bulbs had a longer "tip" than the LEDs, so it wasn't a problem in those specific cans

If there is a dimmer I'd turn off the breaker, swap the dimmer to a standard switch and try that. It can at least help to rule out if that is your issue.
