How can I add a custom alert for new imessages? I've read several different options but I just can't copy the file to the sounds folder.
 
I don't think you can anymore. You can add AIFF files to ~/Library/Sounds and use them for alert sounds in your particular User Account but the Messages app only looks into areas of the non-editable System folder for its text tones.
