The most likely issue: GIMP is not searching for plug-ins where there
are any, or vice versa.

The search locations are specified in the folders sections of the GIMP
preferences - see

https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-pimping.html#idp15766256
and
https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-folders-data

with an example for brushes.

You should change those to the location where you have installed your
current GIMP.
