This is a KDE limitation. You can only have one system tray per KDE session. 

I'm going to assume you added a secondary taskbar via right-click kicker => Add New Panel => External Taskbar and you can't move the system tray over or can't add any applets to that taskbar. I assume this is by design, because it's just that, a taskbar. For that reason you can't add applets to it.

What you probably want is to have the kicker span both screens and move the system tray to the secondary monitor (since it's only possible to have one system tray, see above).  In order to that, do the following; 

1. Right-click the kicker and select "Configure Panel".
2. In the arrangement section, Xinerama screen: All screens. This makes the kicker spread over all available screens.
3. Click OK.
4. Right-click the kicker and select "Add Applet tp panel", in the search box, type taskbar, there should be only 1 result. Select it and click "Add to panel".
5. Now that you have two taskbars on the kicker, move one of them to the other display by clicking on the left side of it and selecting move taskbar. Then move it in place.

Move the system tray in the same manner.

Most likely, both taskbars will be showing the exact same tasks on all screens. If you want to separate the tasks per screen;
1. Right-click on the kicker, select "Configure Panel"
2. In the Taskbar section, uncheck "Show windows from all screens". 
3. Click OK and you should be set.
