I will try to put as much information as possible about my situation. I know I installed it properly , when I open up minecraft it says in the corner "Minecraft 1.6.4 MCP v8.11 FML v6.4.49.965 Minecraft Forge 9.11.1.965 3 mods loaded, 3 mods active" I also have (under the "singleplayer" and "multiplayer" buttons), a button that says "mods" which shows the 3 mods that come with the installation of forge. However, when I put mods into the "mods" folder that forge creates automatically under .minecraft, it doesn't affect the game at all. It doesn't cause the game to crash, doesn't load the mod, nothing. It just has no affect on the game whatsoever.
Also, I am using windows 8, if that makes a difference. I had the same problems on an old windows 7 computer so it must be me that's doing something wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Although it would be easier to help with better pictures, and knowing what mods you are trying to install, my biggest question is this ; are the mods actually for the right version.
The biggest thing that would make me be able to help you is knowing what mods you are attempting to install.
The only other thing i can think of is that for some odd reason you have two different minecraft locations.

I've tried to install so many that it got cluttered on my downloads, so i deleted them all. The only one I have right now is a shader mod, which I found here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1544257-164162shaders-mod-v201-beta-18-updated-by-karyonix/
It's the GLSL Shaders mod v2.2.0. All the other mods I had downloaded said they were compatible with forge and that they were for 1.6.4, but I havent tried installing this shader mod yet and I've completely deleted my .minecraft and downoaded it again (I backed up my saves) and I just reinstalled forge, so I'm going to try this mod now.
**Edit: I ended up using this http://www.minecraftdl.com/glsl-shader-mod/ instead and that finally worked for me, I guess it was that the other mods weren't compatible with the forge I was using. Thanks**
First, I recommend putting this Topic in Mods Discussion.
There really is no need to re-install minecraft.
It looks like you do have Forge installed right, but try version 953, because most mods use it.
Some mods have special instructions, but most of them are pretty easy.

Try installing a simple mod first.
Optifine: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249637-
After downloading drag the mod in the mods folder.
Done!
You could also try installers from Skydaz.com
However, I recommend doing it the right way
