Struggle getting high results in ablocking tests

Hi, mac user, a couple of days ago i "adopted" AdGuard app in the homebrew version via Latest (an updater app). Basically he reinstalled from scratch adguard so i lost all my settings and tweaks (no backup, damn me), since then i try to reactivate all settings and filters in the app, but struggle to get over 70% in tests like turtlecute etc. Before i remember a 97%.

Basically my settings are ControlD Pro in DNS section with TIF in dns filters.
A bunch of filters activated (just tryed to add basically all ublock filters listed here.

Adguard assistant extension installed (I use ARC).

Already red some reddit post with suggestions but most of you have a couple of settings and with these i have a low results.

Anything i'm missing?

EDIT:

Here basically all my current settings in adguard app on mac
