not a lot of utilities in the rack - these are usually the key to patching differently imo
specifically for improving modulation - which is probably where you are struggling
mutable kinks, matrix mixer (get a 4x4 if possible), another modulation source, some passive mults/attenuators, a sequential switch, some basic mixers would all open up patching more for you
it's also very easy to plug the same output of sequencer into the same module - swap these around
also try tuning oscillators to different notes/octaves (within same scale)
use clouds as an oscillator instead of an effect - put something in the buffer!

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities
