Short layover after international flight question

I'm flying into JFK on Tuesday from overseas and I have a short layover (1h30m) before my next domestic flight
I've done this about a year ago but I had a much more generous layover, but I recall the time going through customs and immigration was pretty fucking brutal, and I'm worried about not being able to make my connecting.
Is there anything special I can do because I have a short layover? I won't have anything to declare, so there's that, but that wasn't the problem last time I went, it was simply standing in the godawful immigration line @ JFK
*edit*
This flight arrives at JFK at 8:20 PM on Tuesday, so late time + non-prime day maybe potentially might help with the lines? But I'm not sure

You can also alert a flight attendant while in the air, they can often communicate with the ground staff and arrange something to facilitate quick transfers (queue jumping etc). Basically, tell anyone official you encounter that you have a short transfer and ask if they can help. Especially at immigration - though now everything is super electronic, it tends to be comparatively fast as far as I can see. Provided your plane is on time, 1.5 hours should be ok.
Too late to apply for your Tuesday trip, as it interviews are queued up for months, but that's your best way to avoid immigration lines if you're a USA citizen. Mexican and Canadian citizens have their own programs that the USA treats identically to Global Entry.
