Are they original shocks?
Do they work correctly except for being low?

The original fluid was glycerin about the consistance of baby oil.
Over time as the shocks wear owners usually use thicker and thicker oil until they are so worn they no longer work.

If your shocks are not original then they are sealed and do not get filled.
