Palm muting is something that takes time to get used to.
If you search for "palm mute" or "palm muting" on google or youtube, you'll find lots of explanations, tutorials and videos to help you out.

Important things to remember are:
-use the side of the palm, not the palm itself.
-placement: somewhere close to the bridge. If you move further away from the bridge the sound will get more muted.
-apply light pressure. If you press too hard, the strings will be completely muted.
-practice. it takes time to find a comfortable positions for your muting hand.

If you're not sure if your mutes sound right, you can use youtube videos as reference.

p.s.

I'm not a palm muting expert. Some/all of you may disagree with the above. Feel free to comment or to add something to help us out
