Why don't my regular electric inserters put stuff in labs? Do I need a special one?

I've noticed what seems like a bug, if you 'insert' into the corner of something like a lab or factory, sometimes it won't take for reasons I can't fathom yet. Put it into the middle for the most reliable inserting.

Tried this, but it didn't work. Unless by corner you mean the edges and I need to use a longhanded inserter to get it into the middle of a factory.

Edit; for posterity, my setup.

Cheers! That helps a lot. I'll have to get to the blue inserters first, but that solution solves a lot of my problems.

So now that I'm getting into bluepacks - and oil processing along with it - my powerlines are suffering. I have loads of solar panels set up, but it's not enough, especially not in the night, and I don't feel like using more steam engines. So my question is; how do the energy accumulators work? Can I charge them up with the solar panels and make them spread energy when the solar panels are down, or what?
