I'm assuming there was only one queen? All too often, when requeening
fails, there are more than one.

So, if you killed the only queen, I would leave the nuc/colony queenless
for at least 24 hours...even to the point of starting emergency cells.
These can be cut out, and then proceed as you did before with the push in cage.
