Welcome!
Nice to see another person working on going raw
I've been at about 85-90% for about a year and a half. In my personal experience with raw, keep trying until you find what works for YOU instead of trying too hard to make a diet work that isn't. I tried for the first 6 or so months to do the low fat thing, and while I did feel great for a while, my body started telling me I needed more fats as I was craving fatty junk food and feeling a bit 'off'. I eat a more balanced raw diet in terms of fat now and feel balanced. Another tip I got when I started the raw I think is a great guideline is to "eat the rainbow everyday". Eating different color foods and not too much of one color ensures you're getting all the nutrients you need. I also personally feel allowing myself a little leeway with eating small amounts of (healthy) cooked foods like grains or beans or tea helps me stick to the high-raw for the long term. Best of luck with your raw journey!
