First there is no need to copy a service to make a small modification.
You can use a override file. This is what systemctl edit will setup
for you.
Then in the override file you would just need two lines.
The section header and the attribute you want to override.
[Timer]
RandomizedDelaySec=2h
After you made the change did you do systemctl daemon-reload?
You can check what is being used live with systemctl list-timers.
