Hi @gracelinks,
Thanks for reaching out!
The desire layout you want will require customization. Regretfully, customization is outside the scope of our theme support. You may seek 3rd party developers to help you with your problems or you can avail One where we can answer questions outside of the features of our theme.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to hire some to customize your website. I suggest that you upgrade X to Pro because in your we have a feature called Layout Builder where you can customize the category and blog layout. Please check it here on how you can convert X to Pro.
You can also check here to understand what Layout Builder can do:
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
