Don't give a damn
As long as this is slang, there's one famous translation: "Don't give a ...", but this is considered impolite one.
So you can use "Don't give a damn" or "Don't give a stuff" instead.

don't dwell too much on the details
am not sure if you meant ما إتدققش, yet if you did, then it means:
don't be too accurate,
don't dwell too much on the details
