Cluster Status is Yellow

I am running ES cluster with 4 Data nodes, each has 100GB free disk space. But my cluster status is Yellow. There are unassigned shards in the newly created index.

is "active_shards_percent_as_number": 99.61656441717791 the reason ?
Please find the cluster status and index status below,

You should find why the shard is not allocating using allocation explain API and then if you think the issue was solved, you can retry the allocation
