I am trying to set margins for a spiral bound notebook i am creating, so all the margins are not going to be the same. I want to leave some room on the inner margins for the spiral binding that way it does not cut into the text or pictures i have. I cannot seem to apply the margin settings to both pages (i have facing pages checked in the properties panel), it seems to apply to the pages but its not doing it correctly

I'd just like to point out in regard to Jain Lemos' answer that "Facing Pages" (the option for which is seen at the top of Jain's first screenshot) must be checked in order to get the option for inside and outside margins. If that option is unchecked then the document will be in single page mode and the margin options would be simply Top, Bottom, Left and Right.

@Lars_5150  Hi, you can set your inside margins from the Document Setup panel or from the master pages. For masters, if you want both pages to have equal inside margins, be sure you have both pages in the spread selected before applying the settings. Otherwise, you can change them for each page on the spread.
