I did an og reading and marked it, but doing my final reading less than a month and a half later it reads the same. I also noticed this time that the hydrometer is basically sitting on the bottom.

Does that mean I didn’t add enough beer for the readings? Everything should be fine after the bottling stage I’m hoping.

You got it. The hydrometer has to float to give you a reading. Try another reading and this time make the hydrometer float.
