I'm in a similar situation. I'm having to learn linear algebra,calc,basic prob, and brush up on all of my holes in between. I haven't found a direct path, however. What has helped me is this deep learning book[0] which has spelled out very plainly what I need to learn. From there I use a combination of math is fun[1], better explained[2] and 3blue1brown. math is fun really helps by just giving you examples and definitions strictly based on the subject instead of assuming knowledge in another category. better explained helps with intuition. And, 3b1b was second to none for really painting a picture of linear algebra and calc. Even though I've had to watch the videos 3-4 times each to get it, I'm extremely happy with what I've grokked.
One last resource is Eddie Woo[4]. Super clear and enthusiastic intuitive lessons from him teaching highschool and slightly beyond math
Good luck in your journey. I know how frustrating it is to not be able to find the math resources you need at an awkward level. If you happen across even better resources please share.
Also a tip that really has been helping me: when you "read" a math equation, don't simply recite the variable names and numbers. Try to say out loud what they represent. I've found that if I can't then I don't really understand the concept I'm working with.
