Is there a way to make the topics that have not been read bold, and the ones that have been read unbold? That way our users know which one they have clicked on and which ones they haven’t?

this plugin does this type of thing but you have to manually configure that part

you would have to copy the bbPress Recent Topics widget edit it/rename it and change where it renders the topic title to gtf_topic_title()

The changelog says this:

Don’t always put tags around titles, as this affects the title bar, too. If you want bolded titles on topics with unread posts, use gtf_topic_title()

Would I just add this code to the css or php file?
