Grouping y axis labels in Matlab

I am creating a 3x1 outer plot in Matlab. Within each outer plot I want to have a 5x1 inner plot. For every 3x1 outer plot, I want separate y axis labels. I also want each 5x1 inner plot to have its own y-axis label. All plots will have the same x-axis label.

I have been using Matlab's tiledlayout function. I am struggling with how to create the nested 5x1 inner plots though and how to give each inner plot its own distinct label. This is what I have so far:

close all
f = figure;
subj_plot = tiledlayout(3,1);


% Iterate through all subject

for subj = 1:3
    nexttile
    ylabel(['\bf Subject', num2str(subj)]);
    for fing = 1:5

    end

end
xlabel('test');
subj_plot.TileSpacing = 'compact';

Overall the figure will be 15x1 with groupings of 3x1. I am not sure how to set this up, and how to nest a tiled layout figure within a figure with distinct labels using hold on. I How can I do this?

EDIT: each individual 15x1 plot will have two graphs over-layed on each other.

EDIT2: DESIRED STRUCTURE WITH DIMENSIONS REDUCED

I don't have the function tiledlayout (my Matlab is older than R2019b) so I cannot reproduce this exactly. I would consider using text as opposed to ylabel for the outer plots, something like this:

% define ax = get axis for each subplots in your tiled layout
ax.Units = 'pixels'; 
h = text(ax.Position(1)+ax.Position(3)/2, ax.Position(2)+ax.Position(4)/2, 'Your Outer Axis Label', 'Units', 'pixels', 'HorizontalAlignment', 'center', 'Rotation', 90);

You could of course drag the text manually too if reproducibility is not a concern here.
