We have discussed Leading Lines in many photography meetings I've attended. But do you consciously plan your photo based on the guidelines or do you just "see" them. Do they just fit your composition? After you see the "print" do you think. "Oh, good use of leading lines".
In MattK's course "Inside the Composition (Basic)" he discusses "We take photos of things we know or have seen". Basically what you have seen or learned, like leading lines, develop your ability to "see the photo" often you need to see the photo in the photo, meaning that you need to see less than the wide view and zoom to a smaller area.
I think you get to a point, after taking and viewing many photos, that you no longer think about the compositional guides you just apply them. Of course not every photo you take is compositional great, but you learn from them and put them in the trash.
Unless you want artistic photo, your photos must be in focus, and doesn't grate like nails on a chalkboard, https://larrysphotography41.blogspot.com/2023/04/nails-on-chalkboard.html?m=1
Are rules ruining your photography?

When I looked my older photos , maybe before I was aware of the "rules" I photos that looked right. No "rules"
