Next time you are imaging the ice giants, try a range of exposure levels and take multiple images. Choose the one you used here for the planet (as it seems spot on), then increase ISO or exposure time (or both) to see if you can eek out the moons from the dark. At +14 mag they wont be easy, but with enough exposure time you might get lucky
