Yay! Congrats. I have one male and 2 females at pre-subadult. I hope that I do not have this much difficulty.

I had them on my hand and he seemed to just get it this time plus I kept jiggleing my hand making the female move more

 
Well I think them being on your hand had something to do with your difficulties. Four hours is probably fine, but they usually mate for longer. It is best to wait until they are connected and then not disturb or watch them. I have a thread on her with my mating technique that works well for these. In fact the mantids I used in the thread is the same species.
