Polish books is a built-in plugin. You will need to put it on a toolbar or menu. Open the preferences, go to the toolbar page and select the toolbar or menu you want to put the button on. Then find it in the left-hand list, select it and press the arrow in the middle to add it to the right-hand list. When you save the options, the button will be on the menu or toolbar you chose.

Now, select the book and press the button or choose the menu item. A dialog should show with various items you can do. Select the "Update cover in book" file option and any others you want to do, then press the OK button. That will start a job to update the cover.

Also, I probably should have mentioned that when you change the metadata or cover in the library, calibre updates its database, but does not update the actual book. It only updates the book when you do something like send the book to a device, edit it, do a conversion or one of several other actions. The cover can be updated at these times, but, calibre needs to be able to find the cover in the book. If the cover isn't marked correctly, this won't happen.
