there are four different types of fail2ban configuration files. So,
it sure is easy for something to go wrong there. 

Also, the fail2ban service must be restarted (service fail2ban restart)
or "SIGHUPed" after a config file change.

It might save some trouble to just ask the fail2ban-users mailing list

https://sourceforge.net/p/fail2ban/mailman/fail2ban-users/

why a so-and-so config change is not having any effect.

Also, FWIW, there is a good fail2ban config article here:
