Those cs50 courses are not particularly easy and the problem sets are designed to push you.
You'll always need to quick reference basic things, so don't worry about that, and ChatGPT is great for 'dumb' questions.
As far figuring out how to tackle a problem, remember to break things down into smaller problems and work with those. Each small problem should have it's own function and then test each function on its own to ensure you get the results you want.
Data structures and algorithms are not easy. While cs50 does a great job explaining things, look at other sources too for concepts your having trouble with to get a different perspective. While your doing that, experiment with the concept and play around with it in code.
