Hi youngandcold, welcome to the forum!

You need to select a raw file from that camera - the selected one appears to be a JPEG, TIFF, PSD etc.

And the Camera Profiles folder needs to be directly inside the CameraRaw folder, not inside Settings.

Hi Victoria and thanks!)
Well, I've don all that and still my profiles anywhere but in my lightroom. Also, this yellow sign pops up when I try to import profiles just clicking the button. Like I've already added it but incorrectly somehow. What else I might doing wrong?)

There are two CameraRaw folders. One folder is only for the default profiles (C:\ ProgramData \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \), the other folder is for user profiles (C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \). Perhaps you chose the wrong folder to add them?

There seems to be 2 issues from your screenshots. Firstly the selected photo is from an Olympus camera and the profiles listed in your Explorer screenshot are Canon 5D Mk2. Secondly, the Explorer screenshot looks like the CameraProfiles folder is called CameraProfiles 01 which wouldn't work either.
