Just made a simple sweet mead. 17lbs honey and the rest is water to get to about 5.8 gallons. Took an OH and it showed 1.066. Kinda low?

It did look to me like it sank to the bottom. I did shake and roll the carboy on it's side twice and I stuck a sanitized racking cane to the bottom and gave it a good stir as well. Should I continue doing that?
Ok so bonehead move of a lifetime. I just figured out why my OG was so low. I did not put all the honey in. Just now I found 5lbs honey that was buried underneath some towels. I originally made the batch on Wednesday September 27. It is now October 1. Can i simply put the 5lbs honey in the primary fermenter?
