Are you sure that Chess960 is made for the people who don't know how to set up the board properly?
I'm playing black. My back rank (8) only has the king and the rooks now(b8, d8 and a8 respectively) None of the pieces has moved yet but I'm unable to castle. I have tried moving my king and castles to all the squares on the 8th rank but it doesn't castle anywhere. How can I castle?

In Fischer Random you have to drag the King and drop it on top of the Rook to castle.
It should also work if you click the King once then you click the Rook once without clicking any other squares.
All chess castling rules apply: once only, not moved, not in check, not passing through check, Rook can be under attack just as long as it does not affect the King.
I looked at the game you are playing, you moved one Rook from c8 to d8 so now you can only castle with the Rook on a8 but the Rook on d8 is blocking that, you need to move the Rook on d8 before you can castle.
The final positions of the King and Rook after castling is exactly the same as chess.

The last several 960 games in your archive did not change your rating. They were from an unrated daily tournament.
