Once your block is created (I can see you created 2 bocks in your example). You need to go to "Block layout" and click "Place block" in the region you want:

A popup will appear. Use the filter to easily find you block and click "Place block" then click "Save block" and you block will appear in the region you chose.

my test blocks do not appear in block list. So that I could not place the blocks. :(
Can you screenshot when you click "place block" on the left region ?
In Block Layout Tab, that "TestBlock" should be appear , right? But, that block does not found. However, I found it just now. :D It appears in "Auto Hidden Blocks" . When I click that, I found my "TestBlock". Thanks @progzy .
If you click on "place block" it would appear as well. You re welcome.
Best answer. Solved my issue :)

You are getting confused between block plugin and block entity. The entity you are creating using UI by going to the custom block library is a block entity. The value for this is saved on database and not in code base. Where as in order to create a custom block plugin, you need to write code in your custom module inside src/Plugin/Block folder.

After that you can place the block (both entity and plugin) using block layout's place block button at your desire place. Place Block Button
