"Refresh MO2 and move the mod to the xEdit Resources section."
Where is that section?
Sounds like he wants you to make a section (separator) in MO2 for xEdit resources i.e., tamriel terrain esp, merged modes, xEdit edits, etc.
Generally you would not run your game with these mods/resources enabled. Only when using xEdit, LODGen or DynDOLOD. Cause each one of these tools will create data/output that will override these resources anyhow.
Untick the Occlusion box in DynDOLOD so it doesn't generate it
On the site sheson has stated "For Skyrim, Skyrim VR and Skyim Special Edition I generally suggest to use xLODGen to create an Occlusion.esp for the entire load order. Generating the Occlusion.esp is fairly quick with quality 2 and it means not having additional plugins as master in DynDOLOD. The Occlusion.esp is automatically ESL flagged for Skyrim Special Edition. Since DynDOLOD is just the advanced version of xLODGen for tree and object LOD generation, the code to generate the occlusion data and the results are the same."
"DynDOLOD offers both options - generate the occlusion data into the DynDOLOD.esp or a separate Occlusion.esp (which is equivalent to using xLODGen) - in the advanced mode options."
Use the official DynDOLOD support forum for qualified help and advice.

It's the first one in the files section.
"Adjust LOD settings depending on your needs (check this thread?)"
Its linked images of the settings are too small to see on screen, and if enlarged are too blurry and/or don't even cover the entire options box (too low res) - trhere are some full sized images simply titled "Custom Settings" - so I've just gone with them
Other landscape and LOD textures you have should overwrite DynDOLOD resources though, so it should be near the top of your texture mods.
