You're attempting to send information from the server to the client. So:

Server -> Client

When using a remote event that is being fired by a server-sided script, and then received by a client-side script you need to provide a player argument.

So, you would change your server-sided script to:

game.ReplicatedStorage.ServerRequest.Notification:FireClient(playerVariable, "Testing Testing", "Testing2 Testin2")

As you can see above I added a variable that's a player object called playerVariable. This variable must be a player object and can be set multiple ways. You can use events (PlayerAdded, PlayerRemoving, etc.) or you can just set it like this:

local playerVariable = game:GetService("Players"):WaitForChild("Player1") -- Player1 is only in studio of course

This is bad practice though and I don't recommend it.

Hope I helped.
