I had similar incident which I put down to my mistake or the incoming missiles passing through the engagement envelope of the gauss cannon before they had the opportunity to fire. I had four groups of ships in the same location, each with a missile armed jump escort cruiser, one escort and three to four cruisers, the two task groups without the fourth cruiser having a fleet scout with active sensors. At least two of the gauss cannon escorts also had active sensors.
I had inadvertently left the jump escort cruisers point defence range set at 68,000 kilometres, the same as the gauss armed escorts. However it can be seen that when I sorted the engagement range of the jump escort cruisers out they fired at targets about 4 million kilometres out and the enemy missiles never got within range of the gauss cannon. But the first incoming salvos were only engaged by the CIWS on the missile cruiser target.
