      The flasher needs a certain amount of current flowing through it to operate properly. It does not care where that current goes after it leaves the flasher. The LED turn signals don't use nearly enough current to trigger the flasher, so another path for current to flow must be provided. The resistors are that path. They must be in parallel with the signals, not in series.
