UnrealVS GenerateProjectFiles not locating game solution files

I am relatively new to Unreal development and working on building a multiplayer game. I am using the two sources listed below to create a Lyra starter project with EOS implemented.

I’m at the step where I’m trying to UnrealVS to run the project with -game -customconfig=EOS but the actual project is nowhere to be found in the UnrealEngine VisualStudio solution, no matter how many times I run GenerateProjectFiles.bat. The project location was originally created outside of the UnrealEngine code directory but I even copied the entire project so that everything is in the same directory.

The screenshots below show the step at the guide that I am stuck on, the solution view of the Engine directory, and the actual Engine directory in File Explorer (the project is in the Games folder).

Please let me know if I missed a crucial setup step or am approaching this the complete wrong way. I greatly appreciate any help or advice in advance.
