Few people think dark matter is in the form of black holes, a more widespread idea is that it is a type of types of particles with the minute masses that fundamental particles typically have. That would make a gravitational detection of a single dark matter particle very far from feasible.

Over time, if no such variations in movement exist, then it's likely that dark matter is very distant, that it is evenly disbursed, or that there's something amiss in our current understanding of the space-time continuum which raises a false assumption that dark matter might exist in the first place.

That is already more or less assumed to be the possibilities.
