A 2 el at your spacing would be about 20 Ohms direct feed won't work so I suspect you have tuned the driven el away from resonance .Do you have an analyzer I think you will find your feedpoint highly reactive. You need to make the boom longer say 78 inches to keep the feed point impedance up. This will change your driven element length( moxon boom measurements won't work with a 2 el yagi) I ran your dimensions through yagi cad .You should be getting some gain and front to back And the impedance is close to 40 ohms , which would show a low vswr ,but the reactance is over 44 ( allowing variations for height above ground and wire size used)
