For the first 2 or 3 years of my career I marveled at how more experienced devs "just knew" all of the syntax by heart. Then slowly I started to memorize it myself. It wasn't until year 4 when I could really crank out code without needing to lookup syntax a lot. You will get there! I think it just comes with repetition and experience. Just recently I coded an entire script on a plane with no internet! Even after 6 years experience that still feels like a big win 😃

Sucks that interviewers are expecting you to have it memorized. We give a coding question during our interview process and one of the first things we tell candidates is that we welcome them to Google whatever they need to bc we know, no one has all the docs memorized.
