To the OP. The instructions you got with your kit are not the best known methods known to experienced home brewers. They are for merchandising more than they are for making really good beer, because they lead new brewers to believe they should only primary for a week then use additional equipment to "secondary." Conventional wisdom on this web site is that you should leave you beer alone in the primary for 3 weeks, maybe a little longer, then bottle or keg. If bottling you should leave the bottles at 70f for a minimum of 3 weeks before chilling them at least 48 hours before drinking.
There are thousands of batches and thousands upon thousands of hours spent brewing by dedicated home brewers that go into that advice. I was lucky to find this site early in my brewing life and have used the above advice with a lot of success.
You can use secondaries or not, but should still keep your beer in the primary until it is completely finished fermenting and had a chance to do some conditioning. I don't understand myself how a secondary improves clarity. The yeast fall out of suspension over time and form a compact yeast cake. If you disturb them by moving to a secondary you start the process of them falling out of suspension all over again and, I would assume, add time to how long it will take to get your beer clear. If you leave it in the primary without moving it around or messing with it you will have pretty clear beer in three weeks, and even more clear beer if you leave it longer.
I assume you used extract. If so, I was never able to get to my final gravity when I used extract. Typically I ended up around 1.020. It doesn't happen to all extract brewers, but it happened to me and I've read about it happening to MANY others on this site. Your beer might very well be finished fermenting. No need to dump it or take drastic measures to get it lower, it will probably be good, even if not exactly as intended.
Good Luck!
