No worries, thread moved from KSP 2 Technical Support (PC, modded installs) to KSP 1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs).

Most of your mods are still in compressed zip folders,  You need to extract them and put the extracted contents in the right spot in your GameData,

Most mods will extract to a GameData folder to help you with proper placement.

Here's a great guide if you'd like more details about how to install mods:

.zip folders won’t work, you need to unzip them and put the contents into GameData.

I strongly recommend you use CKAN to install mods as it will get the right versions and all the dependencies for your version of KSP and install them for you. Not everything is on CKAN though, so for manually installing mods:

• Unzip downloaded folders first, they won’t work otherwise.
• If the mod folders contain a GameData folder then this should be merged with KSP/GameData or the contents of mod/GameData copied into KSP/GameData.
• If the mod folders don’t contain a GameData folder then you’ll probably want to take the first folder down which has the mod name but not a version.
