If you are under 1000 Elo, thinking about openings is just a giant waste of time. If you want to get better, you should concentrate on tactics.
I can see that you have only tried 9 puzzles total, which is really weird.

The thing about the London is that it's an Opening System...so it doesn't really matter what the move order is, it's the set-up you end up with that's important. So, by that logic it shouldn't matter whether your 2nd and 3rd moves are Nf3 or Bf4, or Bf4 followed by Nf3. Remember, it's only move 2 and 3 on the board so nothing much can go wrong. There are arguments for and against each. Take your pick. You'll want to play e3 next.
After your e3 on move 4, the fixed "system" breaks down and you'll need to take into account what your opponent has been playing.
There can be nothing wrong with the advice of clearly better players who say don't waste your time learning openings and to just concentrate on tactics... however as a novice myself sometimes it's just nice to get safely far enough into the game to have a go at the tactical stuff!
Good luck
