You can put into the array all the inactive gameobjects like this:

 GameObject[] g = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().GetRootGameObjects().Where(e=>!e.activeSelf).ToArray();

Then, you can simply iterate through all the elements in the array, grab the script component you want, and change the public variables:

             for (int i = 0; i < g.Length; i++){
                 var script = g[i].GetComponent<YourScript>();
                 if (script!=null){
                     script.YourScriptPublicVariable = YourValue;
                 }
             }

Remember to add required namespaces:

 using System.Linq;
 using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

If you know their parent you can do

 YourScript[] allScripts = parent.GetComponentsInChildren<YourScipt>(true);

where true means include inactive.

I am sorry but without your code I can only imagine what you are trying to do. If your child is on 7th level you should iterate GetComponentsInChildren for each child and if you know the name or the script it is better because you can exit the loop sooner with break;

how get inactive game objects and get their script component and set the variable of script component
