Why can’t I make clipping mask in Illustrator?
You have to select more than one object. Both the path/shape that you want as clipping mask, and the object(s) you want to mask. The mask path/shape must be the top object in the layer.
Why is my clipping mask not working?
You need a single path to create a clipping mask. You can’t use a group of objects or objects with effects etc (the effects would be disregarded anyway). Simple fix: Select all of your circles and create a compound path (Object → Compound Path → Make or Ctrl / cmd + 8 ).
