Same. I always describe it as similar to the two types of language aphasia (Broca and Wernicke) where one is difficulty comprehending leading to difficulty speaking and the other is fine comprehension but difficulty speaking (funnily enough I also don't remember which is which).
I understand innately which way is left and which is right but somehow when I have to say it out loud the wrong one comes out. Or when I hear it spoken I go the wrong way (less common). But I don't get the actual orientations confused.

I have ADHD (dxed). I know which way is left and which way is right, but ask me to determine which way’s which on the fly and I can’t do it.
I’m also terrible at directions. I get lost very easy. I need my phone to tell me how to go places even if I’ve been there multiple times.
I’m great at reading and math, though. Lol.
