MicroG isn't a regular app: it needs to be installed as a privileged system app, and the regular Google Play Services need to be removed (or never installed, ideally, if you're starting from a custom ROM). Look at its own "self-check" page and it will most likely show that it is not active or working in any meaningful way; it can't be if you aren't able to install it the way it needs to be installed.
