Because when mounted on the robot one wheel must go clockwise and the other wheel must go counter clockwise ( since they are mounted flipped next to each other )

Its supposed to be like that. Mount the two servos to wheel and then mount the servos to the robot and you'll see how it goes forward

the servos were mounted...but i have now rectified the error...i put one servo in 180 degree lag from the other by rotating its knob from zero position...and it worked real good too...but can anyone explain how this can work??
