She will go broody when she's ready. Eggs left in the boxes won't make a difference. Some hens no longer have the instinct to go broody and it's been bred out of them.

The only thing you can do is leave some fake eggs in the nest box and also make sure that the hen you want to go broody is not being annoyed by other hens while she is in there. If more dominant hens are disturbing her she might keep leaving the nest ro get away from them. Apart from this it's just a waiting game. She could go broody any time...or not.
