How do I put all of my plugins from photoshop 2020 into Affinity Plugins?

You can either:

Copy all your plugin .8bf files to the Photo default plugins folder (C:\Program Data\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Plugins on Windows). Then, in Photo, choose Edit > Preferences > Photoshop Plugins, then ensure that the box at the bottom left (Allow unknown plugins) is ticked. Then close and restart Photo.

Or:

Go to Photo and in   Edit > Preferences > Photoshop Plugins, click on Add. You will now need to find the .8bf plugin folders in each of your applications and select these folders. Again tick the  Allow unknown plugins  box as before, close and restart.

I purchased Affinity Photo today, but for the life of me cannot get PS plugins to work. I have tried both the above methods, so what am I doing wrong. I managed to get the Topaz plugin working by adding the Topaz parent folder and the plugin was detected and now appears in the plugin dropdown, but I can't get HLVG or GradX astrophoto processing plugins to be recognised. Everyone is telling me that they do work with Affinity, but not for me. BTW I'm using the old CS2 version of PS, so is that the problem?
