Welcome to RCF, Jasso!!! 
Yes, you can install all of your currently installed MODs into the new template(s) by creating Template Only versions of the MODs. You may have to update the template to the current phpBB version too using the same strategy...
Of course as you found, it is probably easier to install all templates first before installing MODs. I made the same mistake here. I installed 24 templates after installing dozens of MODs here. So I had to learn quickly of how to deal with it...
It is easier to start from scratch if you don't have many MODs installed. But if that is not an option, here is how you create Template Only versions of your MODs and phpBB Updates...
Creating Template Only MODs
All you need to do is create Template Only versions of the MODs that you have installed.
- First create a duplicate of the MOD script in a new text file. To make it easier to remember, just use the same MOD filename that the MOD author used, but add _template_only to the name. So if you are using the TopicCalender.txt file, the new Template only version would be named TopicCalender_template_only.txt.
- Then save the new Template Only MOD and store it in it's own separate templates only folder...
- If there are any files included with the MOD that are supposed to be uploaded to template folders, store them in the new Template only MOD folder maintaining the same folder structure that the original MOD used...
- Next add the name of the new Template to the end of the MOD Title using your favorite Text editor. So the MOD Title could look something like this if Aeolus is your new template name:
## MOD Title: Topic calendar - Part 1 (common to all setup) Aoelus
EM will recognize this as a new MOD if the MOD Title is different from what it has previously installed...
- Next strip out all NON-Template related modifications. All you want in this new Template Only version of the MOD are alterations for template files only. If there are any copy commands, only keep those that copy included files into template folders too..
- Then rename all instances of subSilver with your new Template name using the Replace All function that you can find in most text editors.
- Now you can upload the new Template Only MOD folder to the admin/mods and run it like you would any other MOD using EM.
If you have added more than one new template, you would want to repeat Steps 6 & 7 for each Template except instead of using subSilver, you would use the name of the last template that you installed using this Template Only version of the MOD. So if the last template you modified with this was Aeolus and you want to apply the changes to Helius next, do a Replace All on Aoelus to Helius...
It really isn't that difficult to update each new template after the fact. I will be happy to help you with this process until you have a good idea of how to do it if need be...

This looks like the path to the forum folder is wrong in EM Settings. What are you using for the Path to your board in your ACP MOD Center EM Settings???

Well Area 51 wasn't bad until recently when phpBB.com went down and all the phpBB.com Team Members came over and started bullying all the volunteer help. So as you noticed, everyone who knew anything stopped offering tech support over there and few are finding answers to their problems unless they find their way to here. It's a shame that it had to be that way...
The phpBB.com Team Members should be promoting a healthy environment. Unfortunately, many/most of them are very rude and it makes their community look bad...
