Close but not quite
You won't be able to use the exact same value you put in the save template, they have different syntax/purposes. The save template is just about file directory paths, that is why having / characters representing subfolders makes sense. However for a metadata plugboard it is about substituting the value in a field of the book metadata. In this case the Kindle uses the title metadata field for its display/sorting. So you want to setup a plugboard to modify the title field, so that series (where available) is prefixed before the actual title of the book.
Your book will appear unchanged in Calibre, but the internal metadata for the book that is loaded onto the Kindle will have been changed which will impact both the title it displays and hence the way it sorts your books when you choose to sort by title.
For how to setup your metadata plugboard, see
this thread.
