1.) I wonder about the name 'preferences.txt'. In case this is wrong, look at
Help->About LyX->user directory
The preferences file should be in this directory
2.) Add the line there (After the line with 'Format 34'
3.) No need to reconfigure. You have to restart lyx though, so lyx can read 
preferences
again

4.) If that does not work, check the log-file 'configure.log' (in the same 
directory)
Should contain the lines
INFO: checking for the pdflatex program...
INFO: +checking for "pdflatex"...  yes

Thanks very much Kornel!

I have found the file `preferences.txt` in Library > Application Support >
LyX-2.3, and I have added that line to it. I then reconfigured LyX.
However, when I look in Preferences > File Handling > File Formats, I still
can't find pdflatex.

Thanks,
