    I’ve seen 2 tutorials online that use wp_list_comments() and they are not helpful for me because the themes I’m editing don’t use that.

    Well, there’s the problem. Any documentation to that end would depend upon what your theme specifically does. It’s infeasible to produce a step by step that can apply to what ever any random theme chooses to do. Your best course of action may be to alter the theme to use wp_list_comments() instead of what they do now. Then the tutorials you found would be helpful.

    If you do this, you shouldn’t directly alter theme templates. Keep your altered templates in a child theme.

    But then I would lose the styling of the theme if I did that. The theme would look worse and be not usable. I am editing themes made years ago to improve them. The themes I’m editing are using
    foreach ($comments as $comment)

    Does anyone know how to do threaded comments when the comments are being printed with a foreach loop?

    If I have an example as a starting point, I should then know how to add threaded comments to existing themes which use foreach to print comments.
