Yeah you should get some screenies. It could be a number of problems from the redstone running out of length or maybe something it completely stopping your pistons from moving.
The link https://imgur.com/a/LKhMh7W works: it goes to the image [code obtained by following the link then right click & View Image], but using the "Linked BBCode" version would be more convenient.
I don't think any of us realized you were trying to do a screenshot by using your phone to capture the screen image
On most computers f2 would be easier.
This single shot doesn't show enough of the door mechanism to make clear how it is intended to function: what I can see looks like a line of RS leading up to an upward facing piston with another piston facing the RS line just past it.
You should be able to change which key takes screenshots by clicking on Options on the Start Page or Pause Screen, then click Controls and scroll down to the bottom.

You should also have an 'fn' button on your laptop keypad, holding that should let you press f2 to take a screenshot. Sadly I can't tell much from that picture. Also not sure why you would be using imgur or a host to post a screenshot- don't you have an 'Upload an Image' button to the left across from the 'Post Reply' button? I always use that to upload images to the forums.
I built a piston door using a pressure plate and I'm having this weird glitch where I can hear it working but I can't see it working. Any ideas?
Screenshots?
There ain't much to screenshot.
Are you actually seeing all the pistons so you can see that none of them move or are you just seeing the blocks of the door?
Just testing.
Yea the pistons aren't moving.
Can you post screenshots of your redstone setup?

I can't figure out how to upload the screenshots.

The link How do I upload and embed my images onto the forums? in the sig here https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/show-your-creation/screenshots/2399040-how-do-you-post-screenshots?comment=2 is a bit dated, but should still work.
Imgur is by no means the only free image hosting site out there, but works. [I use it myself.]
I would recommend setting up an account (which is free) in order to keep your images organized, but this is not necessary to use the site.
In step #5, I would also recommend the Linked BBCode which places a thumnail in the thread that is linked to the full sized image.

If the array of data mode structure blocks forming the rear wall is part of the door mechanism, this question is probably more in the balliwick of the denizens of https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/redstone-discussion-and/commands-command-blocks-and
I'm on a laptop and f2 is my screen brightness.
