No, because that's currently not a directory, it's a symbolic link.

do i have to link them like i did when i moved them the first time?
No - you only had to link them because you'd moved them from their original location. The link allows the application to keep looking in the same place and still get to the files. You're now putting them back in the correct location, so no link is needed.
