Is this on a subsite or a root site? Like Engelbert said, in order for a
group to be able to add web parts is if they have access to the web part
gallery. The web part gallery is in the top level site of the site
collection. If your second group doesn't have any access to the top level
site, they won't have access to the web part gallery, and won't be able to
see the web parts.
