Thanks. 

Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following search command then hit Enter/Return:

find ~ -type d -name "*Mods*" 2>/dev/null

After a little while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.

No idea if that's useful, but figured I'd mention anyways.

        That’s not the correct folder. I’ve given you the location in my previous post and the Terminal search confirms it 🙂
