Where do I find these? I expected to see them on the IFR map, but no map shows them. As these are majorly critical, I'm sure they're there somewhere; just I cannot locate where.

Assuming you have the IFR option, you click on the destination or departure airport, then click View Plates. These would be on the appropriate STAR, approach, or departure procedures.

OK. Found them, but that doesn't help if I just want to fly VFR and not use a DP or STAR, but use one or more of those fixes to let the GPS/auto pilot fly the route (or hand fly for that matter). How do I plot them accurately on the iFly course?

And I can't understand how the plate is pinned to the IFR map. Or is it automatic like taxi plates in VFR?

These are IFR fixes and not plotted on government VFR charts. The latest beta version of IFly overlays the approach and departure charts on top of sectionals. You can adjust the opacity of the overlaid charts. I'm not sure if this version has been released yet or not.

You can type these fixes into your flight plan and they will be plotted on your VFR chart.

Doesn't overlay them for me. I wish I'd realized that it was only Jeppesen that gave these fixes before buying iFly.
