I’m genuinely concerned about my chances of matching, any response is greatly appreciated

If you're an American medical student with a 240+ and 2-5 papers, barring botching your sub-is you will most likely match.

How many programs do I apply to?

I'm personally not a risk-taker,these are conservative suggestions...

If you are AOA and have a home program that likes you: 65-70
If you are only in one of the above categories: 75-80
If you are neither: 80-85

If you are neither: 80-85

Does that give me a really good chance of matching?

AOA? Yes
Having a home program that will rank you highly because they like you? Yes
The number of programs you apply to? No, it's based on how many programs you rank after you have interviewed. 

If you go on 30 interviews and rank every program, chances are you'll match. Please see NRMP charting outcomes data.

I am a HHMI fellow too. Does that change anything for me?

You're fine. Be normal on the trail and get good letters.

Unless there is some blatant red flag on your application i.e <240 step, no research, no home program, failing clinical rotation, then as an American medical student you have a good chance at matching.

I haven't failed a clinical rotation but had to remediate my psychiatry shelf.
