Turn your temp down to 100. They'll start generating their own heat now, 102 is too hot. Add a bowl of water with a clean sponge (microwave the sponge for 20 seconds, that'll kill all bacteria) to the incubator.

You are aiming for 100.5 to 101.5. 102 is getting too hot. Put a hot cloth soaked in hot water in the bator it will bring up your humidity. Then don't open it, touch your eggs. This is the most crucial area, you may not see it pipping buy internally it probally is, sit on those hands!

Honestly, I would just leave it alone since you've already turned it down. I don't think the temperature is what's causing your delayed hatch.
