could I have played these sets any better

Sharing the tables with weak passive players makes getting the maximum value as a set very difficult and the time I find it most difficult of all is when I'm sitting out of position.
Here are a few instances here the players in each and every occassion a very passive and most times all I can expect is a min raise, could I have played these more aggressively on the flop and turn?

All the hands above are played fine but I think you are missing value by not going considerably larger with your bets/raises post flop against these types of players. Of course if sucks when we hit our set on the flop and they fold to a pot size bet - as a thinking player it's easy to assume that our sizing scared them off. However, they would probably have folded to a 1/3 pot size in the same situation too. Even when there are times that going with really large sizings with flopped sets loses your 'customer', you will more than make up for it in the long run with the added value you get when they come along for the ride.
