When I put ISIS cranks on, I just push them on with my hands and then
tighten the crank bolt down as much as i can which pushes the crank on
farther.

I use KH moment cranks and I recently made a thread asking pretty much
the same thing that you are...

Okay, basically this is how the order should go on a koxx hubset:

Flange---thick spacer---bearing---thinner spacer---crankarm---bolt

Assuming that's alright, try this:

take the cranks off, put nice amounts of copper grease onto the splines
of the cranks and the axle, and then try refitting it. Make sure you
use an 8mm allen key that's quite long so you get loadsa leverage. If
that doesn't work.. chances are your set has a slight manufacturing
defect.. maybe.

just try it.

since the allen key is hexagonal in shape, to get more leverage you can
use a wrench that fits 8mm. this is easier on the allen key, too.

That's what I had to do to get the nessesary torque to sufficiently
tighten the bolts on my DX. 45 lbs/sq.in and Locktight wasn't enough
and they'd loosen after a couple of weeks. Now I tighten them down to
65 lbs.

No real problems sliding them on though, tightening the bolt was
enough.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

i tightened the bolts on my old DX and they took 110lbs of force and
STILL came loose.

I had the same problem with mine and so im assuming you ordered your
unicycle from renegade. first try to grease the threads and splines.
then fit on the right size allen rench, it may seem like thats as tight
as it goes but stick like at least a 2ft pipe for more leverage and it
will tighten really easy. if you fix it yourself you will be amazed by
how much easier the bolt will tighten with the pipe. and a hammer wont
do anything to close the gap, only tightning the bolt will.

Or you could probably call whoever you ordered it from, and ship your
unicycle back to them, but if i were you i would call before i do
anything.

the way i fixed my freinds cranks is i took a rubber mallet and smacked
the nub of the crank a few good times. took an allen key and tightened
it as much as i could and i repeated until i was satisfied. but be
careful. if you get it too tight you might mess up your bearings!
