Perhaps just use:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default-le-ssl.conf

I do not see ServerAlias www.innovationdrones.com in the file, do I need to add this

With the # in front?

The line you're replacing has the # (comment mark) in front. You don't want that in front of the new lines or they won't function.
