If you want a horizontal row of labels, it's much easier to use pack than place. place requires a lot more work and isn't responsive unless you do even more work to make it responsive.

Instead, create a frame for the labels and use pack:

label_frame = Frame(window)
label_frame.pack(side="top", fill="x")

for item in l1:
    label = Label(label_frame, text=item, bg="green")
    label.pack(side="left")

If you want to control the space between widgets, add some padding by either specifying a single value for padx which adds space to both sides, or just add space to the right of every widget using a 2-tuple. In the following example it adds 10 pixels to the right of every widget and 0 pixels to the left:

label.pack(side="left", padx=(0, 10))
