We need more information on your tank:
- Tank Size?
- Caves?
- Behavior? Is the male spending time in/around a particular cave?
- Water Params:
- Temp
- pH
- Hardness
Adding a temperature fluctuation combined with the major water change can also help promoting a spawn. I was doing that to get my peps started but now they breed regularly without it.

Ph is like 7.6
Hardness is 440
Tank is 200l
Lights on for 10hours a day with little movement In room during the day
Males hangs out in one cave but comes out at night and sometimes switches caves
I have a feeling he might be too big for the caves as he is like 14cm- any info on where to get larger ones or where to get slate to make them would be great.

+1 with temp at 28. You can drop it down to 27 with a big water change as well to help simulate their natural environment.
Cave size shouldn't be an issue at all, they love a tight fit. But definitely reduce the number of caves. I like having the cave close to other driftwood so that the females will hang around naturally.
I've never had an issue with lighting effecting breeding but that's just me. Plenty of people online on both sides of the lighting argument.
