My lava variant doesn't work the same way as vanilla lava

I don't know why this is happening, but when I was creating a variant of lava, something strange happened with the fluid: when I try to apply it to a mob, it doesn't burn any of them, let alone me. Also, the lava behaves just like water, or even worse, it can't create obsidian when it comes into contact with water.

If any of you know how to fix this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

So on entity collides with block, set on fire for 20 ticks or so

And then on tick check for blocks around your lava, check for sources etc, check for water, if so set block at x y z with obsidian
