I'm new at this too. I've read they like to throw the nesting material out. Replace it. I think you've missed the breeding season which is nov/dec. I could be wrong, so don't take my word for it.

But I think you should keep trying to let them breed up unless someone with more knowledge than I tells you it's the wrong time.

How old are they?
What country are you in?

I have a question for the resident experts. Of my 2 lutinos, one has longer tail feathers. Is this any clue to their gender?

use a box 24 inches deep and this generally stops them from removing the nesting material and you should replace it make sure that there is enough material so the eggs don't roll around and the babies can stand and not slip on the boxes bottom and they won't develop spay leg
