When I download a zip file with a plug-in for Lightroom, it unzips only as a folder and not as a plug-in file that can be installed. What do I do to make it a .lrplugin?

Move it into the correct folder and try. I have found that some plugins do indeed look like a folder instead of a file, but they still work just fine. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/lightroom-classic-file-locations/

Third party plug-ins usualy have instruction at the source website, did you not read those?

for your LREnfuse, see:

mind you, those directions state any folder you desire, technically true, but more logical to place in normal LrC created folder along other plug-ins.
