Those neurotransmitters just release electrical impulses so if you want to break it down everything about humans reduces down to electricity traveling through out meat

Yes, but the key detail is governance. There’s specific molecules that, without them, there is no attention to be sought. Paying attention or “having willpower” is causally linked to these specific compounds being present in the meat.
Much of “free will” boils down to regulation of these neurotransmitters.

If your goal is to boil it down to the fundamental levels it’s the ion that’s that cause action potentials that are actually causing thought
If you want to look at it holistically it’s due to the connections of the dendrites and how those interact with each other
We have no control of our neurotransmitters and they are only released in response to stimuli from another cell
