I've cooked pork ribs a few times, and the trick seems to be keeping them moist enough while allowing them to cook for as long as possible at relatively low temperature. High fat content helps a lot here. The seasonings and rub will usually get washed off by the fat and juices, so you'll need to re-apply it just before the meat is finished. Broiling for a couple of minutes before serving will create a sticky coating if you use a thick sauce. I think you may have undercooked them if they weren’t tender enough.
