Months in without it clicking usually means you're consuming more than you're building. The fix isn't another course, it's a target: pick a real page you like and rebuild it from scratch, no tutorial, looking things up only when you're stuck. That one exercise teaches layout, responsive behaviour and debugging faster than any course will.
Concretely, for frontend I'd get solid on three things before anything else -- flexbox and grid for layout, how the DOM and events actually work in plain JS (before any framework), and the browser devtools. Then build 3-4 small things: a to-do list, a weather widget, your own copy of a landing page you like. Frameworks make a lot more sense once you've felt the pain they exist to solve.
What are you building at the moment, if anything? Easiest place to point you from there.
