Hi, I've been struggling to add plugins to Calibre for a while now. I have read the directions and followed them explicitly yet when I navigate to the folder that contains the zipped plugins, nothing appears. The plugins are unaltered, zipped as distributed, and I have tried multiple different plugins so I think its an issue with my install.

I have tried calibre-debug -g which outputs no errors whatsoever, I have opened the plugins to verify that __Init__.py and the required txt file are there and intact. I've verified that python2 import zipimport works as it should... I'm at my wits end here. I have found no errors whatsoever but the plugins still refuse to display. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
