How do I change default file structure for a new project in Android Studio 3.0.1?

In particular, certain folders are missing, such as the manifest folder, and res folder whenever I create a new project.

How can I make the desired structure every time I make a new project?

I'm sure it technically doesn't matter, but I'd like to be able to closely follow tutorials to make it easier to learn. I've been at this for an embarrassingly large amount of time, including several re installations. This has happened to me on two machines, both a windows computer and a mac.
