Brief Answer:
Wait for 12 hours more

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The four tablets you kept vaginally were misoprostol.
One should wait for 24 hours after taking the tablets for the bleeding to start.
If the bleeding do not starts even in 24 hours, then you should repeat the same dose of misoprostol tablets.
If there is no bleeding even after 24 hours of the second dose of misoprostol, then you should consult an OBGYN specialist for surgical abortion as then the medical abortion is considered failed.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
