I found a bit interesting bits on them through some research, but nothing
about what the grammatical rules are for using them all. Any ideas?

question
grammar
What are the grammatical rules for using filler words in Japanese(e.g. ええと, なんか, あの, and so on)?
Fillers are [speech
disfluency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_disfluency). It's part of
speech but not grammar. Use them to fill voids in speech just like English
speakers use "Um..", "well..", "like.."
