I dont recommend using the drag n drop to CM to install mods, not all mods are compatible with that way of installing.
Open the archive (zip, rar, whatever it is) and check the folder structure inside. Some mods have the paths already mapped out, so you only need to drag what is inside, to the assettocorsa folder, where you installed it, not the one in documents.
if the folder in the archive is only the name of the car (or track) extract (drag n drop) to the cars (or track) folder. The default path where AC is installed is usually C:\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa so cars would go into C:\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\cars\ replace cars with tracks for tracks. Other mods have files that are required, such as fonts, etc. Those usually have the content folder in the archive.
Checking the structure inside the archive is your best way of avoiding any problems. Ive seen cars and tracks released where there is a folder called xxcar v2.1 (as an example), then inside that is the file called xxcar. rule of thumb with cars and tracks, the folder with the car name should have the *.kn5 files and other folders like animation, extension, skins, texture, sfx, ui and maybe data (if no data there is likely to be a file called data.acd) if in this case you put the folder xxcar v2.1 into the cars folder, you will get errors. you would need to take the subfolder and contents and paste them into the cars folder so you would have xxcar in the cars folder. Check the folder structure of default cars in the cars folder to see what I mean. Tracks is the same.
I have found often that youtube videos can be confusing when you are new. I had problems installing SOL after watching you tube. If the mod has a readme, you are better served reading that first.
Another kind first post.
