You don't need to do anything, google will find them. You just have to be patience.
Build more local inbound links. Not simply the general link building tactcs to your website. You need to mention your local business address with URL. And then share via social media.
So automatic you'll get some share and likes too. And then You can develop via reviews, local directories too.
Then, google will cache all strong inbound links that show trust. You need to update to your google place pages too. Within 10-20 days you'll see some improvement.

Gooogle seems to "index" the citations much slower than links. Here is a pretty old post but maybe it can be of help:

It isn't that they aren't indexed as fast, it is the local algo is updated in less intervals than the regular organic.

Google's local index is told to update every 30-60 days, and in practice, that seems about right. Maybe a little closer to 60-90 though. Unlike organic, you can't build a link today and expect to see movement in the serps. Won't happen. As I understand it, if the directory is worth its weight, Google will index it quickly. From there, it seems like it sits in a Q, waiting for the next index update before being credited to your listing. So ya, patience. But don't sit on your ass, be building quality inbound links, gathering reviews, and building more citations. Good luck!
