From your screenshot it looks like your mods are in /home/<user>/.minetest/mods. Whereas they should be in /home/<user>/.minetest/mods.

/home/<user>/.minetest/ should already exist on your system. You may need to enable viewing hidden files to see that path. Ctrl-h should enable viewing of hidden files.

The current path is /home/<user>/minetest/mods without the dot in front of "minetest". But minetest must be a hidden directory (with a . in front of the folder name). The correct path is /home/<user>/.minetest/mods
