I did some keyword searches on the forum to see if anyone posted about this, but I couldn't find anything about my exact issue. If there is already a post like this, I apologize.
So I am trying to install the VSTi version for FL Studio 20 so that I can open it as a VSTi within Reaper.
I checked this post:

I made sure to install the latest version of FL Studio 20, but my issue is a little different because when I check my advanced folder within FL Studio 20, the VSTi plugin folder is missing?
There are no problems using VST plugins in general within Reaper though.
I want to be able to compose music using the FLEX orchestral strings, winds, etc which is only available in FL Studio in combination with the plugins I have within Reaper.
I realize that there is a Rewire option, but I can't get that working. I made sure that the proper channels are selected and that my MIDI device is recognized within Reaper, but when I open an instance of FLEX within FL Studio 20 as it is Rewired to Reaper, I will see a signal when I press the keys inside Reaper, but I get no sound at all.
Would it be easier to set up FL Studio as a VSTi instead?
