I currently know how the circle of fifths works and how different modes work.

Most YT content regarding music theory seems to either cover only the really basic stuff or focus on applications of music theory like special cool chord progressions instead of explaining how stuff like harmony actually works. Can yall guide me toward some easily accessible content that will help me learn on a conceptual level what is next, after keys and modes?

I vaguely remember seeing a really good interactive tutorial that dealt with most of the music theory. It must've come heavilly recommended, because that's what I usually search for when learning stuff.

It was years, though, I'll see if I can find it.

But I'd go with scales or chords, depending on what you're playing.
