Some mods are not marked as installed in the 'install mods' tab - the checkbox at the left is missing.

However, their status is correctly listed as 'Enabled'.

Edit: seems to be because an update is available.

Perhaps there should be a different sigil if an update is available, instead of the same visual representation as mods which are not installed?

I've come across this point of confusion as well. Took me a bit to piece together a theory on what I was seeing. It does seem to make an awkward kind of sense. If the up-to-date version listed in "installed" tab hasn't been updated yet, that version is technically not installed. And should in a way, be without the "installed" icon, as that specific version isn't installed, yet.

A far as the little sigil/icon... I would think that a similar icon with an up arrow instead of check mark would do nicely.

Ok, I changed it to show them with the installed icon.

Ideally, there should be a separate 'upgradeable' icon - an up arrow perhaps?
