Question DNA Ligation Problem Double Digestion

Hi,
I have a new problem I didnt get colonies after transformation.



I cloned a 1.5kb DNA piece into the vector/plasmid MCS pcDNA3.1+ however, but when I tried to put another 1.5kb piece into the MCS I cant get any colonies.

I am conducting PCR on the piece, then I double digest the PCR product and the plasmid by double digestion with BamHI and HindIII overnite at 16C.

I then conduct ligation at room temperature with the T4 DNA ligase overnight.

I am ligating at a ratio of DNA to Plasmid at about 3:1.

And the total amount of insert use for transformation is 5ul/50ng DNA.

What could I be doing wrong?
thanks
