I am keeping my back straight and I try to act like I’m closing a door with my Butt but one it feels awkward and too I don’t feel any burn. It only feels like I’m stretching my hamstrings.

Have u tried elevated RDLs? Also make sure you don’t dip too down for the RDLs if u want to feel it more in your glutes than you need to make sure that you’re only going past your knee a little bit and keeping the tension in your legs and in your abs

You don't necessarily need to feel a burn to be getting glute engagement. You might feel a better mind-muscle connection doing a B-stance variant though?

All of that being said though most people aren't doing RDLs heavy enough given that grip strength fatigues faster than glutes/hamstrings
