Forge not seeing mods

[unevenest]

I have installed forge and they joypad mod for the exact same version of minecraft yet when I run minecraft with the forge profile for the correct version of everything, I do not see that mod. I have downloaded both forge and the joypad mod through various different sites and have even watched a video on how to install properly. I usually have no trouble with these types of things, but there must be something I'm missing because forge cannot seem to find that mod at all.

I see what I've done wrong. I put the mods folder in the wrong directory. Picked the wrong one of two identical. My xbox one controller didn't show up as an available controller in the actual game however. Investigating why that might be the case now.
