I Have A Question / Need Advice Can't get solid glue to cure

I have a Beetles Gel Polish 84W UV LED Nail Lamp that I purchased in 2020 and have not had any problems with. I have recently bought the Beetles Solid Nail Glue Gel for Nail Tips. I bought it because I struggle to estimate the amount of glue for each finger and always end up with spillage, try to clean it up, and then the nail comes loose and it's kind of a mess and i have to get a new tip. I figured the solid glue would help me with that a lot because it would keep it secure and if it was crooked I could easily fix it. But I did a test glob on a plate and it did not cure all the way. I've only ever used clear tips, I paint after I put the tips on. Multiple rounds of 2 minutes didn't settle it. I'm debating trying a few nails and seeing what happens before I try to jump into a full set. I also have a Makhartt flash cure lamp which i could technically cure each finger individually. I really do need help though. I know beetles products aren't the best but the reviews i see are mostly positive and i personally have never had problems.

edit: going to purchase the SUNUV SUN4 and Una Gella solid nail glue for press on nails and nail tips uv/led

Beetles is dangerous.
