I understand that you are trying to sync some songs from iTunes to your iPhone, but are unable to do so. The method for syncing that you describe as being your desired action (dragging and dropping your music into your iPhone icon) is made possible by choosing to manually manage your music on your iPhone, as described in the article below:
If you can't manually add or remove content from your device
Check to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is turned on:
- Connect your device to your computer.
- Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
- Locate and click on your device.

- In the left sidebar, click Summary.
- Scroll down to the Options section.
- Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos."

- Click Apply.
You might see a message that your device is synced with another library. This means that you've used a different computer to sync your device in the past, and iTunes can't sync without first erasing and replacing all iTunes content on your device.
