Or does it make more sense what self-subsists is the source of all laws?

Laws are purely conceptual. They are our descriptions of certain phenomena. We use laws to describe and predict certain behaviours.

For example, Newton's second law of motion states that the net force on an object is its acceleration multiplied by its mass. This is our description of the relationship between acceleration, force and mass.
