Sugar

NO I'm not being fresh
I just bottled (4th batch) the Zombie Dirt, 2 weeks in the Brew Demon and 2 weeks in bottles, then cold crashed in the fridge for over 24 hours. So heres the rub, I thought going to 16 Oz flip tops made sense. So from my 2 Gallon BD I bottled into 16 oz fliptops and excess into 4 each 12 oz bottles.
I used 1 each .10 oz sugaring rock per all bottles.
Yesterday I invited a friend over for a social distancing beer tasting and we each had 2 of the 12 oz bottles and it was pretty awesome, some bubbles and a good head.
Today popped one of the 16 oz flip tops and nothing , flat. sad, disappointed.
So feeling like a drug dealer got my cooking scale out and weighed the sugar rock (.10 oz) did the math and think I should add .03 - .04 sugaring to the 16 oz plus the rock.
Does that sound like a good fix? Any Suggestions? Besides go back to 12's.
