Whenever I dry hop I don't feel convinced the hop pellets are properly dissolving and adding flavour.
Would it ever be ok to shake the vessel or stir them in?

Pretty common in my brewery!You could add your dry hops before fermentation is complete. This seems to be a fairly common practice these days to ovoid oxidation.
Toss them in a day or two after fermentation starts and the currents from the fermentation will stir them up just fine.
That is a pretty little mess. Bet ya it smells pretty good.You're telling me! I added the hops during peak fermentation (too early - was 20 hours after pitching) and then it went nuts.

No worries! I only lost a bit - it's a bit obvious I guess... !Yeah, we should have mentioned that you need adequate head space in your fermenter to add hops during peak fermentation...
