Everything takes time! Your leg workout routine is good but if it’s not working correctly you should switch your workout routine.
You should try the following workout routine https://www.borntough.com/blogs/news/best-leg-workout-exercises-for-building-mass in order to get better results.
Dumbbell Deadlifts
Reverse Lunges
Single-Leg Deadlift
Barbell Squat 4 set (12 RM-10 RM-8RM-5RM increase weight on each set)
Quads Extension
Hamstring exercise
Machine leg curl
Bulgarian split squat
Try it for 3 week and see the better results
It's advice for bodybuilders to train your legs once a week.
If you won't be able to see the results then it means you are not consistent towards your workout and you need some sort of motivation.

   leg presses for most people do NOT develope the thighs. People do them as an "ego" booster  they can pile the weight on. Smh. When doing them make sure you push with your heels not the front of the foot. The heel actually activates more muscle. Do not go fast never lock out and go as low as you can. That might help. Here are ( in my opinion ) the best thigh exercises.
                                           1.  front squats or sissy squats
                                           2.  hack squats
                                           3. lunges
                                           4. regular squats
                                           5.  leg presses with weight ABOVE head ( verticle)
                                           6. regular leg presses
                                           7. leg extensions

                                   For hamstrings

                                    1. stiff leg dead lifts.
                                    2, leg curls

I´ve always got decent results from seated Leg press but the Hack Squat is the winner for mass & great shape.
Squats are great too but Hacks give a better all round shape IMO

There are no rules in bodybuilding like you have to bench press or anything else. If the hack is giving results and soreness in the right places stick with it. No you don't have to squat or leg press. Yes, you can make the hack your main compound movement.
