Default ProTools Not finding default plugins

Hey guys, so I've been trying to install a couple plugins from online, I don't know what's going on. The instructions tell me to drag the .component file into library/audio/plugins on my hard drive, and that's what I did. but then I exited out of protools and restarted protools and they didn't show up, so i decided to drag them into a folder that was in the voxengomarveleq folder under Voxengo Marvel GEQ 1.4 AU AAX -> ProTools AAX -> Plug Ins and so I restarted my daw thinking that might work, since I saw a bunch of my other plugins in that folder, but now Im reading an error message saying that I'm missing tons of plugins that are stock in protools and have used in all my sessions. I tried dragging out the plugins that I dragged in but it's not working, I tried restarting my computer, but that didn't work, please help, I have a concert today tat I need to make a backing vocal mix for.

.component files are AU plugins.

Pro Tools uses AAX plugins.

If you’ve moved any of your AAX plugins into a different folder, they will not load in Pro Tools.

Move them back to their original location as shown here.
