No need to worry. In case it's still unclear: Just go to Preferences > Paths and change the field for "Document templates" to /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/ Alternatively, in case you are planning modify those templates by hand, leave the above field unchanged, but instead copy all the files from the above directory in the Application package into the folder $HOME/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0/templates/ Then you can edit those templates, and add new ones, without risk of having them overwritten by a LyX update.
