OP - only one person hinted at it as far as I can see but your bottles need to be around 18-20 degrees to carb in 2 weeks. Warmer, they will carb quicker but too warm can **** the beer. Too cool will send the yeast dormant.
Carb drops vs sugar is simply preference (considering carb drops are sugar).

I found carb drops in at my house make my beer to fizzy. Convenient, for sure, but over fizzy beer no way. I like using malt and batch priming. I always add a tad less then the software tells me and seems to work every time.

Give them all a gentle swirl to mix up the sugar.

If your storage area is anything like mine then it's been somewhat chilly over the past few weeks.

Your beers may need a cuddle or a blanky!

Had a mate whos bottles were flatish after 4 weeks, he put them in the house which was a good 10 degrees warmer and the yeasties came back to life and they were fine after a few more weeks. In fact had one of the finest beads I've seen!

Oh and ditto on the scoop. Big W or your HBS will have them.

I'm going to cuddle all my beers from now on until they're carbed

After the ferment, I put my bottles in my fermentation fridge and set the temp at 22 degrees. Carbs up very nicely as soon as 1 week.
