Manually installing extensions isn't a great idea. You should use something like aescripts UXP/ZXP installer: https://aescripts.com/learn/zxp-installer/

 

Install this manager, then you can double click on the .zxp extension file to install it.

Hey man, done what you said pretty much but I'm stuck at the last hurdle. Can't seem to drag the file into the installer, no matter what i do. Tried to compress it etc but nothing.  (see image attached)

Is there a .zxp file inside the unzipped folder? None of the files in your screenshots are installers.

 

Also, since GeoLayers comes from aescripts, if you download the aescripts manager app, you can very easily install the tool from there. https://aescripts.com/learn/aescripts-aeplugins-manager-app/

okay so some progress, I renamed the file to a .zxp, and can drag it into aescripts, but it says geolayers was not installed unfortunately

I'm not sure what's going on here. You shouldn't be renaming the ZIP to ZXP. You should have a .zxp file and that's what needs to be installed. What about my suggestion of using the aescripts manager app?
