What type of bags and what type of sealer. Chamber or suction? Bags embossed or smooth?

Vac sealer- suction. Using their bags- smooth on one side. The machine is a flat one. Not one of the uprights

If it’s a FoodSaver, it could just be the sealer, They’re kinda junk. I fought seals all the time with mine. I have no doubt chambers are the best, but I don’t have the space nor use mine enough to justify one, so I bought a Anova sealer. I have yet to have a single failed seal even the few times I missed hitting the seal button before juices made it that far up the bag. I always seal rough side up on the bags.

If food being vac sealed is high in moisture, I will add a folded or rolled paper towel between the food and seal area all the way across to keep any moisture away from the seal area. And wipe that seal area clean inside and out before sealing

EDIT - Or are you getting suction, but the heat band is not sealing, and you loose vacuum?

It seals fine. It’s the suction that does not get enough air out

Okay, then try moistening the sealing gasket with water. Then experiment with the position of the open end of the bag with respect to the little trough. I like to barely tuck the bag into the trough, smooth side of the bag is down.

The gasket might need replaced. I have taken it out and turned it over for better results.
Squeeze the sides to "puff" it up some.

If you are getting a good seal but are having problems with it not sinking in the water (due to not getting enough air out), you might want to try adding some weights to the bag. They sell stainless ball bearings specifically for that purpose but my guess is that something like a butter knife might well do the trick if you have one that’s the right size.
I have something similar to this which tends to hold the bags well enough even if there is a little air. https://smile.amazon.com/EVERIE-Weig...NsaWNrPXRydWU=
