Just because you have a nesting site, does not mean females will actually lay eggs in it. They can be really picky as to where they lay. Everything has to be just right for the female, temps, soil, heat, etc.
I have female iberas that lay in different places, some in the GH soil, some in the rock hard lawn.. Some try to dig concrete. No two tortoises like the same.
I have provided dug over, moist soil, but my females reject and choose their own place.
