Magnification with macro lens

I’m a newbie to macro photography. I read numerous reviews of lens and viewed videos but still can’t figure out the magnification aspect. I’m using an fox Nikon d750 with an FX Sigma 105 macro lens with a 1:1 magnification. Regardless of the aperature or shutter speed I use, I cannot seem to get much magnification of any items I shoot., I.e. insects, flowers, leaves and I am with a foot or two from the subject. It also doesn’t seem to matter what setting I use on the lens as it changes as I focus. Any suggestions?
