Baggage delayed more than 2weeks now Dallas Forth Worth

On December 28th, I traveled from Dallas Forth Wort to Indianapolis. It was nice winter break I had until I found out that my baggage has been delayed. When I went to pick up my baggage at Indianapolis, I found
out my bag was delayed so I immediately went to the baggage claim service. The guy nicely asked for the desription of my bag and gave me the file locator number. I found out that they didnt give me the tag sticker when I checked my bag. The guy said that it wasnt going to take more than 2days and they usually ship my bag in 24hrs.

After 2days I became unpatient and call the 1800 535 5225. They said that since it is a holiday season, there are many bags that are lost and are waiting to be delievered so I said ok fine I will wait. After 5days, they said that since the bag has been delayed more than 5 days the file goes to the Central Baggage Service Department at American Airlines. So it was now the different number. 1800 866 4010. They said that they were sending me Property Questionnaire to list baggage contents and other pertinent information. They said the mail was sent to my adress that day so I had to wait until the letter was arrived.

After 2weeks, when the letter still didnt arrive, I found out that I could print the questionaire form online by myself so I had to print it out by myself and fax them. Which means that now its been almost 3weeks since I havent recieve my bag. I have lost my patients.

I called several time this week again but all they are saying is that they recieved the questionaire form and is still on process. When I wanted to talk to the supervisor, the woman who works over the phone said "we dont transfer the call to the supervisor" I asked why not and she just said "we dont transfer the call to the supervisor" again, as if I was dump or something and when I asked her "Is this how you do your job?" she just says "Yes, did is how I do my JOB!"I just hung up the phone...

I just started my semester and I had to buy all new clothes again just for 2weeks. My underwears, skincare and winter jacket were all in there. When I tried to call the customer survice numbers, not only did I had to wait for long time, I also got treated as if it was my fault that baggage got delayed.

I am sick of calling and now I used up all of my minutes for my phone. I know my rights. My time, effort, everything is just a waste. Time is money and I know is cost more than what I lost. All I want was my bag to be arrived but now I am angry.

This report might sound crazy but suppose that you are in my shoes. You wouldnt just sit in your chair and wait for a bag forever.
I want to know. What is my Rights? What should I do?

I am helpless. Please

I did some research and "According to paragraph 3 of section II of Title IV of FAA code, if your luggage is delayed for four days, you have the right to a full refund of the fare you paid for your flight as well as
vouchers for 4 additional filghts, plus full compensation for the lost luggage."
