Installing VST plug in

I have been working for two hours to try to get this plug in to work. I  am operating on a 2017.0.2 version of Audition. I downloaded the plug in from Valhalla. I read the 'Adding third-party plug-ins' and followed the directions. I put it in the Library> Audio >plug-Ins >VST. But it doesn't show up anywhere in the Audition program at all. What am I missing?

    I have found out the problem. I contacted the maker of the plugin and he told me that the plugin I was using was too old. Argh! So, I downloaded the newer one and it works fine

    Yes Audition has been a 64 bit program for some time. As such it also needs 64 bit VST plugins.

    Okay. I did that and nothing shows up. This (obviously) is my first time adding a plug-in to anything. I am the only one who uses this computer and have put it in the main Library not the one listed on the Users/Christine/Library/Plug-Ins/VST, but I don't think that makes a difference as both places are listed on the 'VST Plug-Ins Folders' portion of the Audio Plug-In Manager. I did take the plug-in item out of the folder it was in and put it 'naked' into the VST folder. It just seemed right.

    After placing the plugin in the folder did you open Audition and run Audio Plug-in Manager from the Effects menu to get Audition to rescan for new plugins?
