How can I get oculus apps back on my S6 edge

I downloaded oculus apps when I used my phone on my friends vr device. I subsequently deleted the apps thinking I did not need the apps. Only a couple days later I bout a vr myself but I can not get the vr to prompt my phone to download oculus apps.

I have a oculus account and can access my account on the Web but that's about it. I can not delete the vr services apps. I am at a loss as I have a phone that won't work with the vr.

Please help anyone.

Yes my NFC is on. Should it be off? Thank you for your reply.

How did you re-install the apps? Via standard setup or did you force it somehow?

I found somewhere that allowed me to down load the SDK files and then from there allowed me to carry out the actual download
