Go to the website where you can get F4SE, download the zip file appropriate to your game (regular or VR), extract the contents of that zip file to the Data folder in your F4 directory, launch the game through F4SE_Loader.

Go to the website where you can get ENB. Click on Download, scroll down to your game and click on it, then chose the latest version of ENB for that game. On Nexus you can find other ENB presets that changes the look of the game. Find the one that suits you most. No matter which ENB preset you download from Nexus, getting the files from the ENB website is a must first.

Adding to what Rezznor7 correctly said, make sure you read the installation directions for your enb preset carefully. The download from the enbdev website contains a large number of files intended for people who are creating presets from scratch. Most presets you will find on nexusmods will tell you to ONLY install d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll from the enbdev download, and then the custom files for your chosen preset.

All this of coruse presupposes you have a mod manager like Vortex installed.

So the order is:

-install Vortex (or the other one) then
-F4SE
-unoffical Fallout 4 patch
-Buffout 4
- then your mods

I have had better luck downloading directly from the site for F4SE, the last time I tried to get it in a collection using Vortex it oddly downloaded 3 different versions which caused it to have conflicts with the different versions.

Yes I also downloaded F4SE directly from its seperate host site, not as part of a collection.

F4SE gets installed in the game directory not the data directory.
The f4se launcher needs to be in the same folder as the game exe file
