Powder looks the same as mine and it even came with that green tape over the canister too. It's very possible as you said the pre workout desensitized you to stimulants. Personally I find both Modafinil and FLmodafinil very stimulating, but others only notice a slight alertness.
There is also a specific gene type that will determine whether or not you respond to Modafinil. I'll paste a snippet below from the following page:
[PMID 19037200] rs4680(G;G) carriers deprived of sleep respond quite well to 2x 100mg modafinil in terms of improved vigor and well-being, and maintained baseline performance with respect to executive functioning, whereas rs4680(A;A) individuals barely responded to the drug at all.
I don't know the exact percentage of individuals who carry this gene. I vaguely remember coming across some data about that, I think it's high enough to not be surprised at non-responders though. This could be your case but without genetic testing not possible to know for sure.
For now I'd lay off the stimulants for a couple weeks to give your body a reset back to baseline and then reintroduce the powders.
