Two possibilities: 1) Denisovans lived in places where fossils don’t survive well 2) People have already found them but misclassified them. (Some puzzling fossils in China might be Denisovan, but they don’t seem to have DNA)

(2) would make far more sense to me. For (1) to work I would think Denisovans would have to be widely spread out but less numerous than Neanderthals. Though maybe they disliked caves.
