Could some one please direct me on getting plex to see my media files? I'm not where to start to get my files to populate into PMS. I have attached images as visual aide this far, if more information is required please inform me.

The problem is that you've created sub-datasets under Media for different types of media. Because of the way datasets work, mounting a dataset doesn't automatically mount its children. You'll need to individually add each of the child datasets as storage for the Plex jail (/mnt/storage/Media/Anime to /media/Anime, etc.).

Oh thank you! however after adding each dataset to the media folder only the television shows appeared. Can I not have multiple storages for a single jail?

Or you could just separate them by directories under one dataset. KISS.

You can, but they have to go to different destinations. /mnt/storage/Media/Anime would go to /media/Anime; /mnt/storage/Media/Movies would go to /media/Movies, etc.
