I think the sketch could be salvaged quite a bit by moving your measurements around. A lot of them are stacked on each other.
Symmetry is a lot easier than it is made out to be. On square shapes like you have you would essentially select opposite corners then your origin (0,0) it would automatically make your square centered.
Equality constraints would also clean this sketch up a lot since you have a lot of areas that are identical.
I'd be happy to look it over if you could send the file somehow
