I don't have a mac so I can only advise in theory.

I know the mac configuration is slightly different from the other platforms.
As far as I can tell you should install your themes in
~/Library/Application Support/config/themes

And the settings.ini file in
~Library/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0

As this involves two sets of files it's difficult to tell which part is 
failing if it doesn't work.

So I would propose to first try and make the settings.ini work by 
experimenting with some of the other aspects you can configure in there and 
see if these changes go through and only then try to make the theme work.
