Question / Help locating the plugin directory

I am having difficulty loading a plugin. I have put the login in these directories but it does not load:

/usr/lib/obs-plugins/v4l2sink.so
/usr/lib64/obs-plugins/v4l2sink.so

There is not any errors in the logs for failing to load. Does anybody know how obs determines the directory that loads plugin? How to diagnose a failing plugin issue?
