What I have tried:

C++

i have tried everything im at the end please help

After re-reading your post and giving it some thought.

The analog read is what's probably messing you up, it's not giving a consistent reading, which is normal for ADC.

What you might try is reading, say 10 times and averaging the results to output to your servos.
