it did.

You missed to go to the end of line before putting the text:
y$$gp
Note the second dollar sign. "y$" alone does leave the cursor at its
current position. The second "$" then puts the cursor on the last
character of the line. "gp" (with *lower* case ell) appends the yanked
text. If you had chosen a different text to put than the one the cursor
is in front of, the result of your command would have been more
obvious.
