PLEX for some reason can not find the server, on the HTPC PLEX is installed on or remotely from other computers or Android TB boxes on the network. I didn’t set PLEX up so I am not a PLEX guru. Where do I go in PLEX or on my HTPC to point PLEX to the server.

Usually you don’t have to point Plex to a server.  
If both the server and your client are signed into the same Plex account, the client should automatically find your server.

That being said – you can set the app to look for a specific server using `Settings` \> `Manual Servers` in the Plex HTPC app.
