Mass explanation: I’ve always been told that mass was not the same as weight, and that grams are the metric unit of mass. But grams are a measurement of weight, so am I stupid, was it was explained to me wrong, or is science just not make sense?

Not the same. Grams measures mass and newtons measure force, being weight a force. What you are referring to is using grams-force as a technical weight unit, which is legit. Usually people just say grams to simplify.
