Which inserters are not working? The black ones need fuel to run (coal for example) and the yellow require electricity. Are you sure that those power lines are hooked up to a power source?

The ones next to the assembler might not work because the assembler has enough of that type of item already.

Edit: I see that you ment the ones that go into the labs. The labs want both red and green science packs for this research, and there are no green ones on the belt, so the labs are probably full of red packs and have no greens and therefore the inserters are not working. Also the inserters dont want to put more than 2-3 at a time in there so if it is 3 in there already that is normal.

Can Nobody See That, Right Under The Image, It Says "The Inserters Into The Labs Are Not Working, And Yes, It Is Connected to A Power Source

As The Eriksonn said the labs also need green science packs to research this technology. On your screenshot you're only delivering red science packs and the lab already has enough red (2 or 3) in them so the inserters won't insert any more.
