Like Kenya said the roosts have to be higher then the nest boxes.
I don't see any roosts or perches in your pictures? You need 8" perching space per average bird, bit less for bantams and bit more for the giant breeds.

I went down each night and flipped up perches so they could not nest. then after dark went in and put perches back down
Problem solved
Took about 1 week
Yes the are, I'll give that a shot, the older hens are on the perch/in the nests while the younger hens are on the floor.
