Help needed with my Serranos!

Hey pepper people! My serrano plant is flowering like it’s on a mission, but none of the flowers are turning into fruit. I’m giving it regular care, and it looks healthy otherwise. I was dreaming of fresh salsa, but now I’m just confused. Is this normal for serranos? What should I check?
 
Read somewhere that you can try to gently shake the plant or tap the flowers to help pollinate. Let us know how it goes!
 
Happened to me last summer with my serranos. Lots of flowers but no fruit usually means pollination isn’t happening. I started gently shaking the plant and using a small brush to move pollen around, that worked for mr!
