Some very general advice is that when you can't do something, slow it down until you can. What isn't always obvious is that this often means at first to go stupidly slow, ridiculously slow, so slow that it barely sounds like music. But slow enough that you can do it right.
Try getting a metronome or an app and set it to 60 bpm, or even 40 bpm, and play one eighth note per tick. So slow that you can say the rhythm in your head and get it right every time. Then speed it up 10 bpm at a time, and if you start making lots of mistakes, slow it down a bit and practice more at that speed.
There's no magic other than time and practice, but it will eventually start to come together. Every guitarist had to go through these same challenges at first, and we're proof that if you stick with it, it will happen!
