Have you researched our Fortify Unplugged channel on YouTube?  Did these videos on Fortify and the VS Code IDE help you understand how to scan within Visual Studio?

Typically, you would download the Fortify SCA Tools installer, run that, and select the desired IDE plugin(s) to add to your workstation.  You must have the selected IDE(s) installed prior to running this installer. If you need to update the IDE later, or you forgot and you installed the IDE after you installed the plugin to other IDEs on your workstation, then simply re-run this installer and make that same IDE selection again, and that will add the Fortify SCA plugin to that IDE.

Be aware as you hunt on-line for video guides on this installation, that Fortify produces and supports a number of IDE plugins/extensions.
