Do you age them?
The real reason why it does not set is there is so much sugar inversion from overcooking too much liquid and little sugar…
Play with the standards recipes
100 part each is sugar, glucose, water, 2.5 parts pectin slow set, 0.625 parrs citric acid, 0.25 parts trisodium citrate .Then use it as base for reformulation of your product.

Hi, thanks for the recipe. Why to add trisodium citrate ?

Its a buffer…if you cook acidic sugar solution the pH goes very low that the pectin never sets .plus the sugar will mostly be inverted compunding the setting problem.The end product will be just like water.
