They’re probably still unsure of the new nesting boxes. How old are they and what breeds? What season is it now where you live? Any moulting? I think soon they’ll get back to laying after they get used of it.

Chickens don't like change and will do strange things while they adjust. Perhaps they found a different place to lay eggs? I don't know where you are, but where I am we are well into Autumn and the days are cooler and shorter. None of my hens are laying now. I don't expect any or many eggs now until Spring. There could be a couple things going on.

I think your coop fell apart at a weird time of year.
As has been said change is never easy with chickens, they absolutely despise different.
And the day is getting shorter, if your hens are anywhere over a year old things will slow to a crawl either from molt or less daylight.
Really not much you can do except be patient.
