They could move the eggs, or they could of just ate them and looking for a better spot. Do you see any?

They could be laying eggs on a leave. Do your plants have leaves?

So far, mine have eaten the eggs after all 3 spawns. They will sometimes do that until they figure out what they're doing. If other fish are in the tank with them, sometimes it makes them nervous and they will tend to eat the eggs more, too. Fine with me because I don't want 300 angel babies but if you do you should either have the parents alone with the eggs for a while or remove the eggs into a tank by themselves, add some fungal medications and try to raise them that way.

Then I think it will just take them time to figure out what those eggs are all about.

if it's been 48hrs since they first laid they may have wigglers.
As soon as they hatch the parents will move them, the will continue moving them around every day or so until the fry are free swimming

Angelfish do sometimes have problems figuring things out. Like mentioned they can get nervous and eat there young. This can even happen if they think your going to eat the young. I guess they think if there going to get ate they might as well do it and get the nutrients out of the babies. Tough world I guess lol. Keep trying and good luck
