please note that with iptables, there are 2 modules for each "extra
module" - a shared library, to handle the user-space part (recognizing
command line options and preparing rules to inject into the kernel), and a
kernel module, to handle the actual filtering.

it is possible that you have the user-space shared library (what you saw
under /lib/iptables/...), but you lack the matching kernel module.
