NRF24L01 Communication not working

Hi, i am new to arduino stuff and have been trying to use Nrf modules to communicate and try a simple "Hello World" example. But whatever i do, the serial monitor shows nothing. All the connections are okay, code is okay too but nothing shows. (pulling out the csn pin starts throing garbage in the serial monitor :-X i know, stupid of me right.... but i think this means that my module isn't fried right?)
I tried other tutorial (Simple nRF24L01+ 2.4GHz transceiver demo) too but it keeps showing,
"SimpleTx Starting
Data Sent Message 0 Tx failed
Data Sent Message 0 Tx failed
Data Sent Message 0 Tx failed"
on transmitter end and on receiver end it shows
"SimpleRx Starting". (If i pull out the CSN pin it shows message received, tho that means garbage received :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: )

I am using UNO as a transmitter and a Nano(old bootloader) as receiver. I have 4 nrf modules (2 antenna ones and 2 basic ones). Tried all of them, different combinations (i.e. nano-nano, nano-uno, antenna-basic, basic-basic) but none works. I have also tried attatching a 10 uf capacitor on receiver (for nano, since i've read somewhere that nano has some power issues), but it didn't work well for me.

I have attached my connections diagram. The codes used are same ones in the hyperlinks above, only the CSN and CE pins are changed from 7,8 to 9,10.

(This is my first time using any forum, so do tell what i missed which would've made this question better/easier to understand.)

Have you tried the connection test program from the Tutorial to confirm that both Arduinos are able to talk to the nRF24 they are connected to?

A common problem with nRF24 modules is insufficient 3.3v current from the Arduino 3.3v pin. This seems to be a particular problem with the nano. The high-power nRF24s (with the external antenna) will definitely need an external power supply. At least for testing try powering the nRF24 with a pair of AA alkaline cells (3v) with the battery GND connected to the Arduino GND.
