. . . . i'm putting the plugins in the "ImportPlugins" Folder, is this the correct folder? . . . .

Technically this is not the correct folder - for 3rd party plugins.

You can put them anywhere you like, however I find it is better to use a specific location, for example, I create a specific folder to put them in - in my case this is in C:\Program Files\VstPlugins - I then add this folder location in the Program settings, Folder tab, Add VST plug-in path in VPX.

Once installed if you follow what the message says and restart VPX, the plug-in(s) should appear?

Note depending on the VST plugins you installed they may not appear in the 'Plug-ins' list, eg some audio plug-ins will appear in the Mixer under the Fx button, + button option as shown in the example below
