Hi Gail,
Sometimes there is a build up of grease and fibre behind these buttons.
Try removing the carriage from the needle bed and cleaning underneath it, especially around the workings of the cam buttons. Then apply some fresh machine oil but do not use WD40 or similar lubricants.
Hopefully this will free the buttons.
