Yeah. Get trap as said above, a hands span from tree. Set as pictured above will result in a low percentage.

I just use flour with ground cloves for lure.
Smear a line starting 2 foot up the trunk about a foot long above trap.
I also might staple something to peak their interest like a length of shopping bag or a thin length of white plastic sign board also 2-3 foot up the tree.

Don't be afraid to cam your set up a bit as well. Doesn't need to be perfect.
Look for marks that indicate the side a critter will climb tree and in turn approach the set.
Guide them in to your set with with logs and rocks etc.

Keep at it and you will work out a strategy.😆
