You can't import the photos again (your first screen capture) because they are already in the catalog (your second screen capture). Also, re-importing never solves anything, and makes the situation worse.
Your photos are also in folders that LrC can't find, these are the question mark icons on the folders (in your second screen capture). You need to follow the instructions in this document (particularly Figure 4) to re-connect the photos in LrC.
