Screw wood to steel beam

I have installed sliding doors with a steel beam as the lintel. I am now trying to install 18mm wood trim against the steel beam. I am using screws (4.8 x 32mm) as shown in the image below, have pre-drilled the beam with 4mm and also pre-drilled the wood halfway with 10mm as I want to conceal the nut. I am getting nowhere. Most often the screw pushes out the wood. I saw on YouTube that someone did exactly the same thing, but with screws like these: Wrong screws or am I doing something wrong? Running the screwdriver at low speed with high torque.

There are sliding doors indoors as well, no information has been revealed about their placement.
