I know this is not the best method but I will show you what I did. I edited the default tpl of my vanilla theme and put my adsense code with {literal}adcode{/literal} at the location I wanted the ads to appear. Forgive me, I am not a professional but this is what worked for me. I know they say the use of tpl files is to actually separate things like javascript from it. What I have heard most people recommending here on this forum is the pockets plugin which allows you to insert raw html at any part of your website.
