how do you install addon scenery?
Look for the Readme file inside the .zip folder somewhere. The Readme should contain Installation instructions.
here this is what it says
FSX Scenery: BSG Galactica at PHNL
This scenery adds:
- 1 stock aircraft carrier offshore at Honolulu ( the same type carrier as at San Diego )
- Landable BSG Galactica above the carrier at 27,500 feet , use port landing bay
* Battlestar Galactica Mesh and Textures by Coxxon
* conversions for MS-FSX By Bruce Fitzgerald

- Unzip Galactica_Scenery
- copy the FOLDER; galactica-phnl and paste it into the FSX/Addon Scenery FOLDER
- copy the FILE; galactica.bgl and paste into the FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery FOLDER
- copy the FILE; colbstr1cox.bmp and paste into the FSX/Addon Scenery/Texture FOLDER
- Start FSX and ADD the scenery Area; "galactica-phnl", in the normal manner.
__________________________________________
NOTES:
The Galactica.bgl is useable as a library object from the mission creator,
but does not have a user friendly name and can be referenced by the BGl GUID
which is {07471313-405E-0696-9C26-DCB049D9D64F} .
Galactica DOES NOT contain a platform in the bgl model.
Disabling crashes detection is recommended but not required
a few holes exist in spots against the walls of the landing bay
so try to stay on the landing strip.
finally if you take-off from the bay, try to be up before the end,
otherwise it may repostion you on the Ocean if you fall off
enjoy

That does not look good at all. I'm only looking at the last picture http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd92/slinginsammy/Capture6.jpg
According to that, you have twice added the complete Addon Scenery folder, see Priority 1 and 5.
Have a look at this page:
https://flyawaysimulation.com/knowledge/page/28/how-to-install-scenery-add-ons-in-fs2004/
It was written for FS2004 but the same method applies to FSX.
The part you seem to be struggling with is this one:
ACTIVATING SCENERY
To activate the scenery, run the sim & click SETTINGS/Scenery Library. Click the Add area button.
Browse to the Addon Scenery folder & select the parent folder of the scenery you just installed.
Click OK. The scenery is now installed & activated.After doing this in FS9 you will see this warning.
Simply click OK, exit the sim & restart it for the new scenery to display.
This is clearer and more concise than I could explain it to you. If you're still having problems, come back and ask.
