https://lutris.net/games You can search for install instructions for basically any game on here. I never played Fallout 4 but it's a Steam game so if you had to manually add files to a mod folder you would just follow the exact same instructions you'd use for Windows except the path would be different (in Steam's case you can find any game's local folder with right click - Manage - Browse local files, for non-Steam games it's wherever you install it).
Many times this is from needing one or two 'flags' or launch arguments. This can help you get around things like 'opening logos don't load' or telling the game 'use this specific library'.
I'll look on ProtonDB for what others are using for a specific game if I have trouble. Example for fallout 4: https://www.protondb.com/app/377160 where it looks like there might be some customization needed to get around not launching.
The other thing you can try sometimes is just swapping the proton version for a specific game in steam, right click it in your library and go to properties -> compatability and the only option is to force a specific version, and you can try swapping around. I've had games only work on proton experimental, or proton 7, etc. if it works it works.
Apologies for the mini wall of text, but I hope it helps.
