Your new plan sounds reasonable. Actually, I think it's a good thing that the OG explanations are awful - it really forces you to think through problems and design your own methods. If the OG just laid it out for you, I think less learning would take place.
20 problems a day might be a little low. You'll probably breeze through a few of the problems, especially at first (the OG goes in rough order of difficulty). To figure out a good studying pace, work backwards from your test day. The three OG have about 1500 problems in them, total; just divide 1500 by the number of days until your test, and that's your pace (you said 6 weeks, which we'll call 40 days, which works out to 38 problems/day). Optimally, you'll be able to get through all three OG and take a few practice tests, but the focus should definitely be on quality rather than quantity.
Good luck!
