She only has access to 2 rooms right now- the sunroom where the pads are and the adjoining living room where we are usually hanging out. The sun room is tile. The living room is carpet. She has only gone on the carpet.
I've also taken the paper towel that I used to clean up her potty and put it on the pad thinking the smell would help her figure it out.

Okay first buy from Pet shop a spray that eliminates the smell of the urine. Orange Oxy spray is what one of the brands here is called. You must soak the carpet with that to remove the smell
You will need to limit her area so more - maybe the sun room - use an expen or some child gates to keep her in a small area, where she has enough room to move around a bed to nap in, and the puppy pads off to one side in her area.
Every time she wakes up you can put her on the peepad. After you play with her put her on the peepad, after you feed her put her on the peepad.
It just takes a fair amount of persistence and diligence on your part
