It is how I do my inner shadow in Illustrator if it can help


Create a shape in a layer and fill it with a colour but not fill the
stroke
Duplicate it on the same layer and hide it
Duplicate it again and put it in a different layer UNDER the layer you will work with and hide it.
Create another empty path in the same layer behind the shapes
Create a grey rectangle which is including all the shape visible
Select the shape visible and the grey rectangle together
Go to the Pathfinder and click on “Minus front”
Go to effect then stylize and “drop shadow” to create a shadow
Make visible the shape you hid previously (2)
Go to Clipping mask and click “make”
Make visible the shape you hid on the layer under your clipping mask layer (3)
