to why I can't seem to get a good semi gloss finish!

Robert is sure to pipe in (and I always call him for advice when I have
less than satisfactory results with my own paint efforts), but one of
the things I've learned to first try is using "gloss" for all the base
coats; and your preferred sheen (in your case, semi-gloss) only on the
final coat.

Easy to see if it solves your particular problem.
