Which custom stories are you trying to install? Some can't simply be placed in the custom_stories folder.

Gary Dark Secrets and White Night are both full conversion mods. Better Place is probably one too, but the only link i can find to it is dead. Either way, full conversion mods don't belong in the custom_stories folder. Read the readme files that come with the stories. It should tell you what to do, or at least provide insight on how to install it.

If you have a steam version then you extract the CS folder into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\amnesia the dark descent\Custom_Stories" else you should search for the redist file and find the Custom_stories Folder.That works only for customs stories!
For full conversions you just extract all the files into redist or amnesia the dark descentfolder and run a cmd(bat) file.
