Could you elaborate on what the proper method is? Or did you just mean put the corn sugar water in the bottom of the bottling bucket, siphon from fermenter bucket directly on top of the corn sugar water, and that is all that needs to be done, it mixes itself?

The method you described is all that I have ever used. Try to siphon so that the beer swirls around in the bottling bucket and mixes with the priming sugar. Do NOT splash it around though, oxygen at this point is bad. I usually try to avoid any stirring or sticking anything foreign into the beer at this point, for the risk of oxidation or possible infection (which is less likely at this point, but still possible).
