everytime I try them, it says 'wrong posture' or something , no matter if I am prone, kneeling or standing

Both times you have to be prone and are not moving, If you move while still warming up the thing will fail....also stuff like speeders, droids, pets and other people have to be around 20 M away from you...
How ever i've been able to go into cover with a CL 10 mob only 11 meters away...so I don't know..maybe CL also affect their range to see you.

Hello,
Both abilities require you to be Prone Only. They do not work in other postures.
Cover Shot only works when you are under Cover. So in addition to going prone you must successfully be covered, to be covered a radius of about 20m around you has to be clear, and that includes Party Members when in a Groop.
If you make use of macros that put you prone then covered, or Prone then Snipe curent Target, make sure to put a 2 second delay between going prone and then going under Cover or Sniping.
Sometimes you actually have to wait a couple of seconds after being prone for them to work.
Hope this helps.
