I reinstalled Windows, is there any way for Vortex to detect my mods?

Hello, basically the title.

I was swapping my SSD for a new one, and as I was backing up stuff, I was bound to forget something, and one of the things I forgot was to back up Vortex settings and mod data (maybe because I didn't know I could back it up directly in the settings). Obviously I don't have my profiles, and I don't expect to get those back, but I had my mods for all my different games on a different drive, so I still have all of them on my computer, but I don't know how can I make Vortex recognize that if it's even possible. Basically, is there anything I can do to restore what I had to at least some capacity even though I didn't make a backup? And if not, what should I do? Because downloading all the mods again seems redundant since I already have all of them...

Half of me was hoping that maybe logging in to my nexusmods account would sync at least some stuff, but probably not.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Set your download directory to match your existing one and you shouldn't need to redownload anything.

You'll need to reinstall them because you don't have the information Vortex needs for that anymore.
