I don’t have a good ad blocker for you other than AdAway. It won’t block YouTube ads on an unrooted phone, but it can on a rooted one. You can try in-browser mobile YouTube with Firefox + uBlock, but I would suggest switching away from the native YouTube app and getting NewPipe with SponsorBlock from F-Droid.
Highly recommended. You can even export your subscriptions from YouTube and import them into NewPipe. But that’s for another thread. I use NewPipe almost exclusively now, having YouTube links pull up in NewPipe. No ads. And with SponsorBlock, you can skip the in-video ads (with community-driven data). Not to mention, you can also stream music from Bandcamp, and it supports PeerTube, etc, as well.

EDIT: Corrected link to current NewPipe.
Isn’t that repo outdated? I use this
You’re correct. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Fixed the link.
It actually has VPN mode which also works without root
They’re saying it doesn’t work to block ads on YouTube and I can confirm that they’re correct.
Thank you for your response. I’ll check it out
