re: but can you please explain to me the differences between all locations:
../plugins/connections/
This path is the core Connections plugin which you installed from wordpress.org.
../plugins/connection-slimplus-template/
This path does not exist, but I think this is the path you mean:
../plugins/connection-slim-plus/
This is the plugin path to the Slim Template which your purchases from here and installed. The template requires the core Connections plugin.
../uploads/connections-templates/
This is one of the paths in which custom files can be placed. The files within the this path will override some of the core Connections files which will be update safe.
../uploads/connections-templates/slim-plus/
This path is like the one above, but specific to the Slim Plus template.
To learn more, read these QuickTips:

http://connections-pro.com/2014/05/07/quicktip-custom-css-templates/
http://connections-pro.com/2014/06/04/quicktip-custom-template-override-files/
This is a lot of information… but Connections has an extremely flexible templating engine which can allow anyone to create really unique directories if they choose.
re: when doing a search/category filter – it has text “You are now filtering for category X…” etc – and then a link “Clear Search”. in which PHP this is located?
I strongly advise against this as you will have to make the changes every time there is Connections update. Instead, read this QuickTip:

Even though you can use the Say What? plugin to do this, the right way would be this:
http://connections-pro.com/documentation/connections/translation/
This is how MO/PO files are created and managed for Connections.
Darn, I just looked, there is a bug with the “Clear Search” button which is why it is not translated.
The file name is class.template-parts.php and can be found here:
../plugins/connections/includes/template/
I’ll have to push out another bug fix release to fix the “Clear Search” button so it can be properly translated.
