I hit my FG of 1.012 - 1.015 in the primary fermenter (1.014), and let it sit in a clearing tank for 16 days and bottled on saturday. My gravity again was exactly 1.014. I would have thought there would be some change to it, but there wasn't any. Is this normal?
should gravity drop during clearing stage?

Absolutely normal. Depending on when you rack, the gravity will sometimes drop a little in the secondary (clearing tank), sometimes not.
Not always but sometimes by maybe 1 or 2 points.
The clearing/dropping is from suspended particulate so does not effect gravity.
