Adobe Flash Plugin not showing up in Finder

Very frustrated here. I have installed and uninstalled the latest version of adobe flash trying to get it to work on OSX 10.7 and it's just not showing up in my plugins in Finder. What is going on? I can't watch video content or other flash on this Mac at all. 😕

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
