Have you swapped the two NRFL01 modules?
Are you making sure the Arduino Uno has a common ground with the NRFL01? I've had problems which I suspect were caused by the separate grounds causing problems with the operation of these devices.
We could really do with a proper schematic I can't work out what the stuff on the breadboard is doing.
Lots of people find this demo from @Robin2 helpful
