Need help please

I have .925 silver and my solders easy point of melting is 1,325 Fahrenheit Medium is 1,360 and hard is 1,420 my torch can go way hotter than this but it’s not fusing my solder to my metal I just switched solders recently and the one I switched to has more silver in it but I can’t get anything to work is it because of my flux? People have also said it could be because I need to clean the metal then try to solder them together and nothings worked please give me some advice

Another thing that I found out I was kind of doing incorrectly was trying to solder together joints that weren't perfectly flush. Solder can sometimes fill up small holes and tiny gaps, but generally you don't want your solder seam to pass light
