Custom display and hover panel SP 2016
Did you check if the publishing features are activated on Site Collection and Web / Site level?
When those are not activated the HTML-Files are usually missing.
If you do not want to activate publishing features on this site you can create a Dev-Site with activated Publishing-Features and create your display templates via HTML-Templates there. Afterwards you can copy the .js file to the target site. Probably not a best practice but it works.
If those features are currently not active, I'm curious how you got into the Design Manager as these links are also only shown if publishing is activated.
Did you publish the HTML version? once the HTML file gets published, the engine will automatically generate the associated JavaScript file.
I do not see any commands to publish....
I am using SharePoint 2016, and SharePoint Designer
- yes this solved the issue thank you!

I do not think that this link is applicable to the master pages library where search display templates reside.. I do not have those options......
Here's how you publish a major version of the file. Please try below.
