Plug-in: Roland Sound Canvas VA.
Utilities > Cakewalk Plug-In Manager says it is in the 'VST Instruments' category.
Insert > Soft Synth menu has it in the 'Uncategorized' sub-menu.
 
Why? What do I need to do?

Only VST3 plug-ins natively support plug-in category tags. Even then, some manufacturers elect not to use the feature. Cakewalk has categorized some VST and DX plug-ins in the database provided with SONAR. Regardless of the format, plug-ins may be added to an existing category or a new category at will. Refer to "Sort by Category" on this page for additional links about how to use the feature.

You realize you can easily re categorize any synth. I often get 3rd party vst's that need me to manually categorize.

LOL - that reply is equivalent to someone asking why their car won't start, and you tell them they can easily fix it, then walk away without telling them how.

I would have included instructions but I don't have Sonar handy. But it's there in the browser somewhere with I think a right click on the synth in question.
