I suppose you are using the Gravity feature to place the Lamps on Slabs.
Unfortunately, there is a reason it is called Gravity, since it can find only the top surface of certain elements, but not its bottom, therefore you cannot place Lamps to the bottom of Slab using this feature. You can do it only manually.
