Mods installed but not in my NMM folder?

So I just factory reset my pc, thus wiping all on my memory. Luckily i was smart enough to back-up things i had wanted to keep. One of which being my mods for fallout 4 as i wasn't going to remember all the mods i had. Well when i had moved all on my back-up data back into my freshly wiped hard drives, it shows NMM being there and all of its information. When i start up F4 its all there, but my problem is the mods are not in the mod folder of the NMM menu/UI. I would like for them to be there in case there is an update or maybe i wish to uninstall or i find a mod and i think its new but i already have it installed. My question is how do i get my NMM to recognize already installed mods and put them into folders for me? If you could link me a video that would be great as i could follow along with that. Im not very good with NMM i just understand hit NMM download and it will do everything for me, so trying to explain it to me might not be too helpful unless you put it into very simple steps. Thanks for your help!

NMM saves the downloaded mods at a different place.

For me, NMM is installed to: c:\Programs (x86)/Nexus Mod Manager,

while the NMM 'data' (downloaded mods) are at: h:\games\nexusmods\ (it is a setting within NMM).

 

If you have saved your F04/data folder, but not your nexusmods/* (in my case) folder, then the mods are there (intalled), but not managable (the downloaded tarball to reinstall) by NMM.

The 'nexusmods' folder is also the place where the loadorder and your NMM mod profiles reside.

So do I have to find both folders and move the mods into the other folder so i can manage them or?
