You can download them from the Home Page www.fvwm.org.
Untar them to any directory where you have a write access.

I suppose you did "make install" properly, so modules and data can be
found by the executable.
Remove ~/.fvwm directory (and ~/.fvwm2rc too if you have it) and choose
"Setup 95 Script" from the root menu again. What do you get? Any errors?
If you get a setup dialog, specify your icon path on the first step.

You may also try fvwm-themes, it installs all data used, maybe it will
save you a time of emulating what you want. But then, please read its FAQ.
