I have been doing this at my various internships and side projects. I am pretty good at fitting things together from examples, tutorials, etc. I think I am lacking in not understanding how the magic works. I feel like a plumber most of the time just fitting different pipes together to get things working.

Then my method isn't the best choice until you develop the knowledge to solve widely varying problems. You don't need to understand the exact syntax but you definitely need to understand why it works since that's what most problems share.

You can learn this by changing and manipulating the code to see how changes effect the program.
