It also does not work with them, or does it?
Default is a fixed payload size of 32, so I doubt your reasoning here.
I always use dynamic payloads.
The default channel could be too noisy, used, or whatever.
That sound fishy. You should be able to use all three on a NRF24L01+.
That's strange too, but could be caused by interference.
That is a problem of your expectation.
I'm astonished that the transmitter receives something at all.
Robin2 has a tutorial for the NRF24L01+ chips which works.
Which type of Arduino and NRF modules are you using, and how are the NRFs powered?
