I bottled a brew 26 days ago and just realised that I only put 1 carbonation drop in the 750 ml bottles instead of 2 ..any way I can fix this bad mistake

Better to bulk prime, but depending on the beer you could try the syringe trick, pour the beer draw some into the syringe and blast it back into the beer.

What sort of beer is it? May be OK, as 2 carbonation drops tend to over carbonate (in my experience). I used to frequently use 1 drop per 750mL bottle before I started to bulk prime/keg and suited my taste, and the style of beer I was making (english ales/darks)

I use 1 drop in a 750 sometimes. It still is plenty carbed to me. I think 2 is good for saison or Belgians that I want high carb. But often for pale ales and stuff I prefer the carb level of 1.

I should bulk carb too probably but it’s just 1 more thing to clean so I stick to drops.

I wouldn't call it a bad mistake, just potentially under carb'ed (and really, it won't be flat by any stretch of the imagination). I'd say that you should let them continue to bottle condition, and then pop one open to see where it is. remember, beyond the carb drop, there's still some level of unfermented sugars in the beer that the yeast will continue to eat away at (especially the longer chain sugars). so you may very well be surprised by what you've got going on in the bottle.
