Were all the signers of the Declaration of Independence Masons?

No. Masons constituted ten of the signers of the Articles, nine
signers of the Declaration, and thirteen signers of the Constitution.

Additionally, Edmund Randolph, Grand Master of Virginia, was an active
participant at the Constitutional Convention, though he didn't sign
the document. It should also be noted that four Presidents of the
Continental Congresses were Freemasons: Peyton Randolph of Virginia,
John Hancock of Massachusetts, Henry Laurens of South Carolina, and
Arthur St. Clair of Pennsylvania. (Northern Light)
