Yes, you must position the picks on your fingers correctly.
Another thing that may help: if you learned fingerstyle with bare fingers, you probably got into the habit of touching a string before you pluck it. It's kind of like a blind person using a cane to feel his way around. It works with bare fingers because your skin will land on and stop a string from vibrating silently. A pick however will cause a buzz.
To eliminate the buzz, you have to initiate the attack before you make contact with the string, then pull through the stroke without hesitation. It takes lots of conscious practice.
