let them get used to the new dock, and they will eventually start basking again

If you are constantly watching, they may not choose to bask in front of you. Mine used to bask on their rocks, but when I upgraded the tank and put in a turtle dock, they stopped basking for me. If I want to watch them bask, I have to sneak up on them.

Make sure it is easy to climb onto, that it is 10 degrees warmer than the water and maybe you should cover up the sides for some extra privacy.
