I see that the OG13 has been your primary resource (along with free online materials you've found). The OG is great, but it's not big on showing you GMAT-specific strategies for solving questions. By "GMAT-specific," I mean "fast and effective."

I suggest a more systematic approach in which you focus on one topic at a time. This will help you master all of the GMAT-specific strategies required for that topic. Also, immersing yourself in practice questions related to one topic will help you see a variety of ways the GMAT can test that one topic.

I should add that BTG's free Study Guide (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-guide) is arranged such that each prep day is devoted to one topic.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent

Focus on the areas that are identified in the reports (e.g., Geometry, RC structure questions etc.)
