There is a reason the first two coyotes came by there. So let the traps keep working if you have enough traps
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

Leave em be. It may take a few weeks before a set may catch. You need to have traps set anywhere you have seen sign. They will be back through. Especially true if you are trying to catch as many as possible from a place. When i set a place, however many sets i make, i always have a few hotspots that repeatedly get action. but the random sets i make catch a few stragglers eventually and some never catch anything.

In time you will learn that sets produce more coyotes after night 5 or 6 than the first few nights they are set. Usually, nights 7 thru 10 are the best coyote catching nights.
There are always exceptions and coyotes are caught on night 1 or night 2 also. But in the long term, if you keep trapping over the years, this pattern will emerge...

Not only leave them be but make sure they are working and ready for them when they do show up. Can't tell you how frustrating it is to have them work the set after waiting so long for them to do so only to find out the trap was frozen down or disabled in one way or another. But then that's all part of the learning curve.
