Aim and press "E" (or "A" on controller).

 To scan something, aim at it while zooming or using ironsights. If it's a valid target, you can press E to start the scanning process. 
This is what I see in the mod. Where do you see the mention of "1"? (It's likely a leftover from the Project Nevada. It may interfere when installed with the old Cyberware component.)

It says press "1" directly under the enemies health bar, I do have PN installed but I believe it was required for TTW, im about to double check right now, any other suggestions?

No, PN is not required for TTW. Moreover, it's not recommended to use at all in 2024, see alternatives here https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/avoid-mods.html

For now, I only can assume that you have PN Cyberware installed, Cyberware 2281 won't work correctly with it.

PN cannot be properly uninstalled midgame. You should start a new game.
And you probably had installed a PN implant, not the one from this mod.

Yes, aim at the enemy, you should see a scan prompt on screen, E) Scan (unless you have VUI installed, there is an unresolved issue with it).

I can't guarantee anything to work with PN Cyberware installed.
