MO2 Merged Plug Ins

[Mandel95]

So I'm okay at modding, I understand it pretty well, it's usually I get it down and i leave it for a while and I return and it all comes back to me.
Anyway, I'm trying to merge some plug-ins for NV and I'm having trouble with MO2. Merged Plugins refuses to recognize my MO2 directory.
I've found a forum that said the directory may be too deep into files so i moved it and it's:
-User
-Games
-Mods
-MO2 Mods path
-FONV
-mods

 

All my mods are working and are relatively stable. No issues or anything like that, I'm just confused on why it won't let me proceed.

I also have to set the directory to MO2 and I assume that means the actual install of MO2 which is:
-User
-Games
-Mods
-MO2


Slightly off tangent (maybe?) I also believe I have created a merged patch, because I've found it in a different folder, but I am unable to export it to MO2. I'm used to it being put in the MO2 directory once I close and reopen it. The esp created does not have a data folder and (like I've said) I'm not too good with mods so if I don't have some sort of guidance with a data folder-- it's hard to put into MO2 for me.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
