There is a lot of information needed thats missing to really know or understand the problem. However, if the relays are clicking, you obviously have the 85 and 86 pins of the relays wired correctly, however no power or ground path is being given to the actuators.

What kind of vehicle do you have? Did it have factory power door locks, or have you added aftermarket actuators?

You show two +12V connection on your relay box, but only one of them is connected to +12. It seems you've connected the relay +12 supply, but the other +12 supply needs to be connected to supply the actuators with power.
