EA app doesn't recognize the game already installed on my external drive

Hi, I've alr installed the game files on the external drive and yet EA app doesn't recognize it. It says to "download" but I've alr downloaded the game on my external! And it didn't create a shortcut when I'm sure I checked that button. Thank you, hope someone answers. 

In this image, I've  tried downloading but I canceled cause I'm sure I alr downloaded it.
