Arduino – Cannot get ECG readings from heart, but I do when I poke at the leads

I have a minor issue with my ECG. When I poke at the leads, I get a reading. But when I hold the leads or place it near my heart, I don’t get anything. I’m pretty sure this is hardware related, but I don’t want to completely rule out a potential software problem. I used this YouTube video as a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDjRg-KgIXY, with their circuit show below.

My breadboard almost looks exactly the same as that, but with a couple of changes. Instead of connecting the ECG to the computer via a audio cable, I used Bluetooth to transfer it to my phone. Here is my schematic diagram.

Here is my breadboard diagram.

In my breadboard, I used three LM358 op-amps. Here is my Arduino code (if you need it):

const int  signal = 7;    // Pin connected to the filtered signal from the circuit
unsigned long currentBeatTime;   
unsigned long previousBeatTime;

unsigned long frequency;

// Internal variables
unsigned long period = 0;
int input = 0;
