Either you are not showing the Sidebar, or those sections are collapsed.


To show the sidebar, with a Finder window open and active, select View menu > Show Sidebar.



Those sections in the Finder Sidebar can be collapsed. To open them, hover your mouse cursor over the right side of the Sidebar at the level of the category name (Favorites, Locations, Tags) and click the expansion caret (>) that appears to expand the section(s).
