Hi there Hooky!
Good to see you around the 'HOUSE' mate!
It's been quite a while since I last dabbled with Rwy12, but if memory serves me, basically you have to create an XML doc similar to the ones already used by the program.
They all begin with; add_ e.g.; add_SeevKahn (this can be found in the main Rwy12 folder). I think it mentions adding your own objects somewhere in the instructions too.

Hooky, Nigel is correct about making folder that begins with add_
What I did was looked at how the various sub-folders were set up in the RWY12 folder. There's two. I opened them and used them for a template for my new stuff. I hope it doesn't take you nearly as many attempts as it took me. I was finally successful, however. I'm sure you will prevail.

You are not providing specific details about the bgl file in question so I will provide answers that you may already know.
Runway 12, EZ Scenery, and Instant Scenery are all designed to place Library Objects. I don't know if you can place normal scenery objects even if you know the GUID number. I tried once and could not get it to work. I might have been doing something wrong I don't know.
Lets specifically look at importing an EZ Scenery Library for use in Rwy12. The library for this example is Nimitz library located at flightsim.com look for ez-nim.zip and ez-nimup.zip. Once you have all the files extracted to the same folder inside the scenery folder you will find a text file. This text file contains all the GUID numbers and names you need to put in an XML file.
To set up a new library in Rwy12 you need to add an xml file to the Rwy12 program folder. For this example name it.
add_EZ-Nimitz.xml
The contents of the xml file are pretty simple. The first line is the doctype declaration.
Next follows the objects defined in the library.
*note I don't know if comments actually work in Rwy12 they may cause a problem. They are included here as part of the example. You can omit them when creating your own xml file.
If this does not help you provide specifics on the bgl file you are working with and we can further advise you.

<category name="Carriers">
<!-- The next tag defines an individual object. The names and GUID should all be taken from the EZ-Nimtz.txt -->
<!-- By default Rwy12 looks for the object image in its "img" folder. If you define a folder it must be in Rwy12/img/ -->
<!-- If you do not have an image for the file Rwy12 will generate an error when you select the catagory. -->
