Mid-2010's pop songs production guide?

[G A B E]

Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Zayn, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato... Their music are some examples of pop songs in the mid-2010's. I want to make pop songs that sounds like theirs but couldn't find the right instruments/plugins in LMMS. I also want to emulate the bassline in songs like Love Me Harder and Style. What plugins should I use?

I want to make pop songs : but couldn't find the right instruments/plugins in LMMS.

I think you should find one pop song and point to specific used intruments.
Link to a youtube vid and mark the instrument with a timestamp, eg: @1.24, @1,57 etc, that will make it easier for all :)

I also want to emulate the bassline in songs like Love Me Harder and Style. What plugins should I use?

That bass is a side-chain. You can find several tutorials about how to make side-chain, i have one on my channel
Perhaps my rookie-guide can also interest you? Link in signature.

If you want to emulate those sounds, used in those type of pop songs, then you'll have to learn, how to make sounds.
Start with the good ol' basics first.
It takes a tiny bit of practice and lots of dial turning and tweaking, but in the end, it's worth it.

Specifically this:

But I want to add some other instruments like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwZqbQL4H4Q @0.00 - @0.15
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsFneCExrCQ @0.55 - @1.14
