The only way to get your elderflower sweeter oout of the bottle is to use a non fermentable sugar. Erythritol is good very little taste to it, I have used monk fruit extract in a low alcohol neipa and ginger beer successfully.
Your only other way to make your elderflower sweeter would be a lot more sugar and then pasteurise the product. That is a whole new ball game and we are concerned about the bottles anyway.
Just prime the bottles as discussed earlier siphoning the elderflower off the settled yeast in the bucket as you go trying to leave as much of that stuff behind as possible. You will not be bottling clear yeast free product.
In your case you could just let it carb up and then add some sugar water in the glass and then pour on top of it, that will dilute a bit and sweeten, then you can adjust as needed. Next time work out how much glass sugar was liked and then add the proportional amount of non fermentable sugar to the bottle when you prime.
