I'm not sure I can help. It sounds like you're doing everything right.

I litter box trained when Jillie was still in an xpen. Then I put the pad in the litter box for a while. Eventually I removed the litter box and just left the pad.

Indoors, she goes exclusively on the pad -- except when I forget to put one out or it gets too soiled. Then she either asks to go outside or hits the bath mats, etc.

I wonder if putting a bath mat in her enclosed area close to her bed would work. Or even use it as her bed. Then put the pad on the other side of the enclosed area. Just a thought ...
