...masturbation?

I tried to masturbate today but like... I don't think I'm doing it right? I mean I was aroused and all, but when I fingered myself or put a uh (penis shaped object) into my vagina I didn't... get anywhere... I've tried fingering myself before but nothing ever came of it. is this normal? ( I'm 17 and I've had the sex talk, taken health Ed, I don't understand what's going on with me)( I also rubbed my clit and ... nothing came of it.)
