Brand sure the settings you want to sync are checked. I typically don't sync masks, cropping, or spot removal since these edits are really specific to each image. I will also sometimes not sync the radial gradient or linear gradient - that option depends on the photo.
Press Synchronize! The changes should now be practical to all the photos you selected.
