Next, I renamed them with dicthtml- as a prefix and stuck them in the custom-dict directory.
I downloaded both the custom dictionaries from your above link and installed them. Both of them work OK for me.

This is a bit of a long shot, but in the interest of leaving no stone unturned...

I did notice that both downloaded files are a "zip inside a zip". The actual dictionary is the inner dicthtml.zip file. This inner zip is the one which needs to be extracted then renamed then installed.

I only mention this because you said you were using a Mac. Now I must confess I know less than zero about how Macs work but over the years I have read various posts on MR which imply that Macs do "strange auto-unzipping things".

P.S. I'm now officially out of ideas.
