Is it true that the speed of light has only been measured bt round trip? Doesnt that mean we do not know if light travels faster in one direction and alower in the other??

Correct but that is more to do with the difficulty of performing such an experiment. We have no reason at all to think it should be different.

2 clocks synced and spaced apart then measure then bring the clocks together then measure delta t to compensate for any interference that might have occurred.

If it’s that simple, why haven’t you done it?

Even if that were true, you could still measure other directions by rotating your measuring device 90 degrees up/down/left/right

You are thinking about the "speed" of light incorrectly. We can prove rather definitively that what you know as the "speed of light" is not really a speed so much as a max value tied to what you might call as tic rate of our universe. It shouldn't really matter which "way" light is traveling assuming it is the exact same path with the same intermediaries.

couple of decades ago speed of light changed but scientists pretend it didn't happen. Look it up, it's real

what a funny way of saying no reason at all to think it should be the same

It doesn't seem odd to me that light would have a different speed after it reflects off of something, if I understand the issue right. Doesn't everything else? It going instantly following emission and half of c after reflection makes a lot of sense to me

this is the hard part.
