Step 2b: If you don't have flying, walk onto the glowing green circles in the area and they will shoot you into the air
Step 3: Use your extra action button to activate DH wings while in the air and glide through the orbs to charge the power cores. Repeat step 2b until fully charged.
Step 4: You're done!

HORRIBLE lack of quest description from the game. HAD to look up the comments here to know what in the world to do after collecting the cores. Thankyou everyone who explained it so well!
If you have unlocked flying you don't have to use the fissure on the ground, but you can simply fly into the orbs. To actually trigger an orb it seems best to fly into it and wait a few seconds.
