Two weeks isn't enough time in the life of a Java fern. They grow at
a snails pace compared to the others. If they are small, then I've
noticed they also don't grow as fast as the larger ones. I also
wouldn't 'plant' them. Try tying the base of each to a rock or small
piece of wood with black thread or small fishing line. A new leaf
'unrolls' itself from the base and planting may impede this process.
Tie them up and give 'em some time. New roots will attach it in time.
