For smaller muscle group like bicep 12-15 is good.
If there is no heavier dumbbells then you make do with what you have.
Muscle will definitely grow but just slower.
Also make sure you eat enough so that there is calorie surplus if you want to gain muscle.
Maybe you should try doing the same reps for both arms so that no muscle imbalance in the long term. One point to note, caloric surplus doesn't mean anything if your protein intake is not enough. After all, protein is literally one major component of muscles. It's commonly recommended to eat between 1.6-2.2g/kg of protein, it's better to get protein from meats/dairy to include all types of essential amino acids unless you know how to mix and match the veggies/beans to get all of the essential amino acids.
