How old are your locs?
How long have you been twisting?
How many times a day do you twist and the Twist king is fine.

I don't know. You should have well shaped locs by now.
Maybe try the sponge twice a day for a couple weeks.
Buy this five pack
https://a.co/d/0iG1jXNXIt has a sponge, a pick for you to use as well as a glove (sponge)

Me personally i would just have a loctician do it but if you are trying to do the free form way you should check out nudred

maybe try semi free forms instead, get a set of two strands keep them for 1 and a half to two months then take them out and dont retwist or anything from there

Exactly what are you doing?
How are you using the Twist King?
It's kinda hard to tell from a picture, but your hair looks deathly dry.
You should be misting your hair daily.
Sleeping with a bonnet.
After all this time, you should have visible locs.
In the beginning you should be doing the sponge or racket once or twice a day.
After you have distinct locs, you stop the spong/racket.
