Let’s say my preworkout powder for example contains 300mg caffeine, 3g creatine, 4g citrulline per scoop for example. How does the manufacture ensure that the ingredients are infact distributed that way?

It’s just thorough mixing and the law of averages. But the law of averages becomes increasingly accurate as sample size gets bigger, and the supplements are ground into such a fine powder that there are a huge number of particles in each capsule.

In true eli5 terms: each ingredient is powdered and mixed thoroughly together, meaning there are a huge number of particles of each in each capsule. It would be extremely statistically unlikely for that number of particles to vary substantially from the average of the whole mixture
