My SSD went belly up, but I managed to salvage my GTA V saves. However, when I place them in my profile folder (C:/Users/:User:/Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA V/Profiles/:Profile:), as per this question, GTA doesn't seem to recognize the save. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or how to fix, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For me, it works this way:
You have 2 files for 1 savegame, for example:SGTA50000SGTA50000.bak
You need both of them in the folder (C:UsersUSERNAMEDocumentsRockstar GamesGTA VProfilesSC_NUMBER). Try deleting all older savegames.
Restart the game and click on 'Story Mode', the save will load automatically.
If this doesn't work:
- Backup the 'Rockstar Games' folder (C:UsersUSERNAMEDocumentsRockstar Games)
- Delete the whole Rockstar Games folder (C:UsersUSERNAMEDocumentsRockstar Games) => This is safe, I also did that. But your ingame options will be gone if you don't backup it.
- Restart the game, the folder will be re-created new with all the needed data.
- Put your newest savegame-files into the folder (both files): C:UsersUSERNAMEDocumentsRockstar GamesGTA VProfilesSC_NUMBER
- Restart and try again.
