Next, still in Finder, open the Track Settings folder, located at:
Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
Next, open the folder in which you want your new Category, either Master, Real, or Software. In this example we're going to create a new category within the Real folder, so we open it up and find the current categories installed on this machine

and copy it:

Add your New Instrument(s), and delete the one we added in Finder.
