Which folder should the validator be in?

This tells me that you've reinstalled the game at some point to a different path than originally installed. It could also explain why you're not seeing the mod work. The UIs mod reads your computer's registry to find the path to your Silent Hunter 5 folder. If the path it reads is different from where your actual Silent Hunter 5 folder is it will not work.
There's two ways to fix this: 1) edit your computer's registry (which is dangerous if you do it incorrectly) or 2) use the SHValidator app which will verify the path to your SH5 folder. If the registry is incorrect it will give the option to have the app automatically correct the registry.
Now why this happens on reinstalls: the SH5 installer fails to update the registry with the new path when you reinstall SH5.
