java moss is more a floater, or at least 'unplanted' plant by inclination. See if, rather than sticking one end in the substrate, you can just tie it off to a branch or rock or for that matter just let if float free. And under the brightest spot you have available, up high and close to the light. It won't do anything dramatic or fast but one day you will look at the growth and say "oh holy [whatever], where did all that come from!?!"

Your water is a bit warm for java moss. It would be happier at 68 - 72 degrees.
