Any tips for changing my mindset on wanting to understand every line?
I recommend not using English subtitles at all. Better no subs at all than English subs. If you really wanted to understand everything then id recommend a tool like memento that allows you to use yomichan to look up words as you go.

Anime w Japanese subs
You can get Japanese subtitles from kitsunekko and if you want to use subs on online videos u can use the asbplayer extension or if you want to watch stuff locally you can use Memento it's basically MPV(Video Player) but with yomichan in it so you can look up words quickly and export them to Anki

Start consuming Japanese media. Look up everything you don't know and make flash cards for it in Anki. If you have access to subtitles you can do this with TV shows as well. TVer is good for this. Dramas which get put on TVer have subtitles and if you use something like Memento you can easily generate anki cards from the subtitles while you watch. But try to do this with a wide variety of media like TV Dramas, novels, anime, manga, online posts and news articles etc. The reason being is that you will come across a wide variety of vocabulary by doing this.
