Placing all .pst files back into the outlook folder does not restore my
sub-folders or contacts.

That's because there is no "Outlook folder" for PST. Outlook doesn't care
where you put them as long as it has read/write access to them. It won't add
them to your mail profile automatically. You must do that, either with the
Mail applet in Control Panel (the Data Files button) or in Outlook, either
with FileOpenOutlook Data File or with FileData File ManagementAdd
