... I've tried to install the Noisegate.ny in the same plugins folder where I see my other plugins but it's not showing up as New, Enabled, or Disabled when I try to add in Audacity.
Any idea what I'm missing?
Audacity plugins folder in Windows has moved from it's long time home, see ...
viewtopic.php?p=350889#p350889
I don't know if its location has changed in Macs, (me no speak mac).

The other plugins that are visible are in the same folder where I put the Noise Gate plugin so it seems like that should work. No idea where else it would go.

Topic moved to the Mac forum as it has become Mac specific.

I had updated to the latest version prior to trying to add the Noise Gate plugin. It's not showing up in my 2.2.2 version,
Do other Nyquist plug-ins show up?
Do you have Nyquist effects in your "Effect" menu (such as "High Pass Filter")?

I'm not seeing anything labeled "Nyquist" but I do have an AUHiPass effect. The screenshots show the list of effects available at this point.

Yes you do have other Nyquist plug-ins installed. "High Pass Filter..." in the bottom part of the Effect menu is one of the standard Nyquist plug-ins that is included in Audacity.
In Finder, right click on "Noisegate.ny" and select "Get Info", then take a screen shot of the Info and post it here.

Shift-Command-4 and draw a box around the panel. It will save a picture on your desktop. Double click it and it will show you what you have.

Perhaps Koz can comment (he's more familiar with Mac than I am), but I think the location is wrong.
On my Mac, the shipped plug-ins are in:
Macintosh HD/Applications/Audacity.app/Contents/plug-ins/
My custom plug-ins are in:
/Users/<my-user-name>/Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins/

Interesting, I found a folder with that naming structure and placed the Noisegate.ny file there. It did show up as a new effect but I got this message when I clicked enable.

Please attach the plug-in file to your reply so that I can check it.
