What?

At around mid day I pass out and don't wake up for a hours, which just further fucks my sleep desu.

I'll just pull an all nighter now because why the fuck not I guess.

Start going to sleep a bit earlier every night, and wake up a bit earlier every day. Best way to fix sleeping rhythms is to do it gradually. "All-nighter" is a meme fix for lazy losers and won't even work most of the time, you'll go back to your habit of staying up all night in a few days at most.
>I don't know how to fix this
Yes you do, but it's all about your self-discipline and willpower.

But I just lay in bed and don't fall asleep dude, falling asleep a little earlier isn't possible.

I go to bed at 11pm and lay there until 4-5am where I usually fall asleep.

Its 4:50am right now

I'm like a professional sleep-cycle-cycler

If you can't manage to skip a sleep cycle, then gradual cycling is the next option.

Push your sleep time by at least 1 (ideally 3) hours a day. This is easily done by consuming some sort of engrossing media, like reading a gripping novel or some fun as fuck vidya.

The other option that I -rarely- use is alcohol/partying.
When you go to sleep the next morning after a bender, you only sleep for like 4 hours max - and badly at that - thanks to the booze in your system. The subsequent tiredness this induces the next day can be used as a tool to lend to correcting whack sleep cycles.
You have to make it a point to not get 'sleepy' drunk, but raucous, 'paint-the-town-red' drunk.

Not op but falling asleep bit earlier don't work for some people
Have the same problem and no matter what I do I end up just staring into the dark and still falling asleep at same shitty time

Get a job.

Oh, also:

Caffeine:
My body responds very strongly and reliably to caffeine. One standard energy drink (~80mg caffeine) will guarantee me 6 hours of awakeness, assuming i have less than one cycle's worth of sleep deprivation. But don't use this too much or it's sure to fuck you up in other ways. Downside: Once you pass your sleep time, you feel like death. But are awake and functional.

As a matter of fact, i'm using this technique right now. I currently go to sleep at 3pm and wake up at 10pm. Right now, it's 4pm. I took a Red Bull at 1pm, so i should crash at 7pm. The next day, i'm going to try go to sleep at 7pm again. Then 9pm the next day etc, till i get to 12am.

Naps:
Really fucking hard to do; but technically can be used to extend wake time when approaching crash
But I usually end up falling asleep fully and ruining my efforts. And then other times, your body goes loco and just ignores your death-tiredness and doesnt let you go back to sleep for another 16 hours despite the sleep deprivation.

So:
-Gradual changes for pushing cycles forward
-Alcohol/bender for pushing cycles backward (unhealthy as fuck)
-Caffeine for pushing cycles forward (feels terrible; don't overdo it)
-Naps for pushing cycles forward (risky; difficult)

Tactically use these tools keeping in mind your body's limits and health, to achieve the sleep cycle timing you want.

I used to literally pass out playing games or watching shows around noon and would wake up at 7 when my mom came home from work.
I gradually fixed it by going to sleep 30 minutes later every other day.

Getting to sleep earlier isn't much of an option, but getting up earlier is, and it's going to suck for a while but that's the best bet. Get up at least a couple hours earlier than normal and persist for at least one week but ideally longer, gradually pushing your time back. You falling-asleep time will sooner or later compensate.
