Guests cannot see the threads listed in the Recent Threads on Index plugin, even though all of the appropriate permissions are set. How can I fix this?

As someone not familiar with this coding, where within the code would I be able to make sure #3 above is actually present, and if its not, where does it go? Not sure I'm even looking at the right file.
^ look at below location
forum admin panel >>
Templates & Style >>
Templates >> [
your theme templates] >>
Index Page Templates >>
index
{$recentthread_headerinclude} can be
above </head>
{$recentthreadtable} can be
above or below {$forums}
see also =>
MyBB Templates System
This is what I'm seeing:
<html>
<head>
<title>{$mybb->settings['bbname']}</title>
{$headerinclude}{$recentthread_headerinclude}
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
lang.no_new_posts = "{$lang->no_new_posts}";
lang.click_mark_read = "{$lang->click_mark_read}";
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
{$header}
{$forums}<div id="recentthreads">{$recentthreadtable}</div>
{$boardstats}
<dl class="forum_legend smalltext">
<dt><span class="forum_status forum_on" title="{$lang->new_posts}"></span></dt>
<dd>{$lang->new_posts}</dd>
<dt><span class="forum_status forum_off" title="{$lang->no_new_posts}"></span></dt>
<dd>{$lang->no_new_posts}</dd>
<dt><span class="forum_status forum_offlock" title="{$lang->forum_locked}"></span></dt>
<dd>{$lang->forum_locked}</dd>
<dt><span class="forum_status forum_offlink" title="{$lang->forum_redirect}"></span></dt>
<dd>{$lang->forum_redirect}</dd>
</dl>
<br class="clear" />
{$footer}
</body>
</html>
^ that is fine. and the plugin should be working (if it is activated)
I found it, but its at the bottom of all of the other categories. I had thought it would be on the side of all of the categories - how would I move it so that it lists the new threads in a completely different sidebar?
^ in general, it doesn't fit in a sidebar (this plugin's purpose is different)
instead of this plugin, you can try using
Top Stats plugin
Is there a way to move it so that its above the other categories, or will it always be at the bottom?
^ of course, it can be moved to top.
change {$forums}<div id="recentthreads">{$recentthreadtable}</div>
to <div id="recentthreads">{$recentthreadtable}</div>{$forums}
and save the template

Fixed with a fresh install of the plugin. Thanks.
