In reply to Steven J. @Steven, Instead of clicking "Insert Guest Additions", try manually mounting the Guest Additions CD. You can do this by going to the VirtualBox menu: Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image. Then, check if the CD appears in your guest OS. Once the CD is inserted, you should see it in your file manager. Open a terminal in the guest OS and navigate to the CD drive and then run the installer with:

sudo sh VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Can’t get past step 4. Clicking on “Insert Guest Additions CD” does nothing.

I do not need pages upon pages about what VirtualBox is and what the Guest Additions are. I do not need the features. I would not be HERE if I did. NO ONE wants to read about how much you think you know!!! GET TO THE POINT!!! Tell me JUST how to install the software. Your ego is incredible!
