Do you have the option of installing the 18+ DLC from Steam directly? If it's available in your region, that would be the easiest option. Steam should automatically put the file in the right place.
If not, it should be a matter of finding the game in your steam library, right clicking on it and going into Manage -> Browse local files. Then open the "game" folder and copy the .rpa file into that folder. The game needs to be restarted after that (if it's currently running).
Also, make sure you downloaded the patch from https://zetsubou.games/tomboys-need-love-too/index.html
If you downloaded it from somewhere else, it's possible that it's an old version of the patch made for a previous version of the game.
It appears to be in the right place. The only possibility I can see would be if you started playing the game without the H patch, it save on quit, now it's automatically loading that save (without the H patch applied) and not checking again.
Can you try closing the game, deleting your quitsave file (game/saves/quitsave-LT1.save) and starting again?
You might need to also delete the same file from your AppData directory.
Ah, so it's the Steam version. In that case it's probably Steam's cloud save syncing restoring the file.

I've just put together a quick patch which should re-check the H patch on load, so you shouldn't need to touch the save file if you replace 006.rpa in your install directory with the file above.
