How do I get my cannoli filling thicker? It is real thin and hard to pipe into the shells.

There really is nothing to make it thicker. It probably just needs to be strained more. Sometimes you might even have to weight it down in a sieve and let it sit. Maybe even use a cheesecloth.
Always try to buy a impastata riccitta, its a little lower in moisture.

15 oz ricotta cheese
1 cup confectiioners' sugar
1/2 cup chopped candied citron

I stir together the cheese and sugar, fold in thecitron. chill until cold. Fill cannoli using a pastry bag. It runs out the other end. I think straining the cheese will solve my problem.

Since there's nothing out of the ordinary you're adding I would say Pan hit the nail on the head...Again! Just don't forget to add the mini choc chips. Can't picture cannoli without them. Well that and the candied pistachios too.
