So I've done some trial and error and I've found the reason it wasn't simulating deformation is because of the material. I copied the same material inputs from a tutorial, which was aluminum (my PLA and this aluminum use the same type of material, Power Law Plasticity, but different inputs) and the simulation worked correctly.
