I have applied some, but I can't really say. The bumps are really small or there aren't any.. Thanks

Normal maps are an optical illusion. What you want to use instead is an Displacement map, which will actually move the mesh up or down. It is often used in conjunction with a normal map, because the mesh itself may not be able to represent intricate details.
