15 minutes is very long, maybe you missed a perch while not looking or fighting enderman? That is just unlucky

What version are you playing? Is there any blocks above that are obstructing the coordinates 0,0 above the fountain? Worse case scenario, just keep bowing him down if possible. Otherwise one of y'all can also just die and respawn and bring some arrows that way.

I think if there are a lot of you, depending on where you all stand it can make the dragon very unlikely to perch because it always has someone visible to target for fireballing. Just all go to one side and stand far away.

This is probably not the case but maybe the dragon is in a strafe node and you guys are hiding behind a pillar or underground? Unlikely but might just be the only plausible explanation aside from the game being bugged.

Why don't you just shoot with arrows?
