Static files not loading, tried moving them to wwwroot

It looks like this series is a bit dated, but I am trying to get through it using .NET 5 and Visual Studio 2019 on a PC. The static files in this lesson do not seem to be getting loaded. I read the other questions that have been posted (most also fairly old) and one user mentioned that the files should be moved to the wwwroot folder, which makes sense. I tried this approach and was unsuccessful however. I also tried using the full path name (instead of the "~", but still no luck.

Here is a link to the project in my GitHub. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I added the files into the wwwroot folder into their respective directories. And just use the Url.Content method in the layout pages.

<link href="@Url.Content("~/css/site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="@Url.Content("~/css/bootstrap.min.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/modernizr-2.6.2.js")"></script>
