So there are some mods that are available on curseforge but not on modrinth, this is my first time making a modrinth modpack can I just put them in the folder manually and when I upload my modpack to the platform everything is available?

When you include a mod from outside of Modrinth, we aren't able to automatically download that mod in the app via it's Modrinth link since... it doesn't exist.
Instead, the project is included as is in your modpack file, this means you're directly distributing it, and we call this an "override".
Projects in your overrides are subject to the licensing and will of their authors, so you'll need to make sure you have permission before uploading your modpack to Modrinth.

Depends on your definition of "public and free", but just because a mod can be downloaded, does not mean you have permission to redistribute.
I recommend checking out the guide I linked to explain all the different scenarios you may run into.
