It wasn't super high at the time, so I will try tomorrow night.

This will be perhaps the biggest issue. Using a 4mm ep in a 1200 mm fl scope means your mag is 300x which generally requires very good seeing. You will get that at the zenith rather than low on the horizon as you are at present looking through a lot of atmosphere. Certainly a good idea to try again when the planet is higher. No scope or eyepiece will give you a good view at this mag with low altitude.
