I'm on Windows 10 using a Kindel2, I go to the Plugboards and set it as mobi and KINDLE2 with the string:

Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
But when I send books to the Kindel I get no Series number, and the Plugboard doesn't seem to have an existing plugboard to edit. Am I missing a key step?

Please help!
Looking at the screenshots, you need to scroll down a bit in the preferences dialog. Or make the dialog larger. There should be buttons "Save plugboard" and "Delete plugboard" under the "Source template" column of fields. You need to press the "Save plugboard" button to actually create the template before pressing the "Apply" button. I have no idea how many times I have missed doing that.
