This css should be in your custom template.

If the files are in corresponding folders, you will have a flyout menu automatically, you only have to customize it.
Then turn off your original menu sidebox, look back a few posts, I already explained that.
Buy the manual and build a test site first.

It is in my css dir of my template.

It is in my css dir of my template.

If the template is active, then it should be read, just like your main stylesheet.
Style will "cascade" to that stylesheet.
There is an entry in the wiki on how stylesheets cascade in zen, or maybe in the tutorials, I don't remember exactly.
Bear in mind that some settings in your main stylesheet will override the menu's stylesheet.
It's against the "cascading" logic, but ZC is not HTML but a PHP app.
Bottom line, if it reads your main CSS, and both are in same directory, it should read your menu stylesheet, otherwise your ZC is corrupt.
Make sure that the template where both are is active, you may have them together in an inactive template.

Be sure everything is in the correct folder.

FIRST, determine which template is currently installed. In the admin section, go to TOOLS > TEMPLATE SELECTION to see, if you're not sure. The default template for my installation was the "Classic" template.

NEXT, check the folder structure for the fly-out menu mod. There are 2 folders in the flyout menu named "YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE_NAME"; one at "includes\modules\sideboxes", and another at "includes\templates". Using the "classic" template as an example, rename both "YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE_NAME" folders to "classic".

FINALLY, go to ADMIN > TOOLS > LAYOUT BOXES CONTROLLER. If there are any error messages, click "reset" to clear those up. Then, double check that the sidebox is enabled. In my default setup using the "classic" template example, there's a entry called "sideboxes/classic/categories_css.php". Turn it on if it's off.

Hope that helps.
