oh i forgot to list the files, oops. im editing ShipHullStatDefs

nah I mean I had closed the game to do the mod stuff, I relaunched it and went to the main menu ship editor and the hull masses were the same, I hadn't started a game yet as the effects hadn't changed the hull mass in the main menu ship designer.
i put them here: C:\Users\jassp\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\hull mass\game
So, I copied the xml files to the example mod folder and pasted the XML files in, and edited the hull mass to what I wanted (nothing too extreme, at most increased one by around 200) and when I relaunched the game and went into the menu ship editor the changes hadn't taken, idk why and how exactly do you go about doing this?
