Empty Motion Templates Folder???

I followed the instructions that were recommended and that worked for another user from another thread (manually adding the "Effects", "Generators", "Titles" and "Transitions" folders manually), and I still cannot get FCPX to read some transitions that I dropped in the transitions folder. Help???? (see screenshot with folder paths) *Is there a way to see what folder FCPX is actually looking at?

*Also, I tried restarting FCPX and restarting my Mac Mini too, still no results

Also: did you localize the Motion Templates folder, as well as each of the four folders in it? If you didn’t then you have to. Select each one, press Command-I, and add the .localized extension to the folder name (it won’t be visible in Finder but FCP requires it).
