Can't make image into cover

Hello. I am trying to learn how to make ebooks in Sigil. I'm having trouble defining a image as cover to my ebook. I know you can have a cover without creating a .xhtml file, just using the manifest file.
From what I understand, after adding the image to the ebook, I should add some information to the metadata and manifest sections of the .opf file, which should end like this:
Code:
<metadata>
<meta content="cover_id" name="cover" />
</metadata>
<manifest>
<item id="cover_id" href="images/cover.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg" properties="cover-image" role="doc-cover"/>
</manifest>
I tried changing and rewriting a bunch of times, but neither Calibre, Moon reader or my kindle recognize a cover. What I'm doing wrong? I'm using Epub3.
Thank you.
