The first option is correct, but is not the most formal option. In order to correct the second option, it should be changed to 'Some of the required fields are not highlighted'.
Although both ways you can express that but the second one is more suitable if you add "the"
some of the required fields
I would say it in this way:
Some of the required fields are not highlighted.
"The" is a definite article and it is used before a noun to define it as something "specific."
If we omit the word "Some,"(which is a Quantifier) the sentence will still make sense.
The required fields are not highlighted.
