I can look at the board and tell which square is a-e 1-8 without looking at coordinates but when I get to F G and H I can’t tell. Any tips?

Count from the other side starting from h. You need to know your alphabet tho

I would have loved to master this coordinates so that I can easily visualize moves when reading a chess book or something.

Without the coordinates, I can pin point the moves, but not just fast enough.

Well, it looks like you've got a case of the FGHS - that's 'F, G, and H Square Blindness Syndrome.' It's a common condition among chess players, don't worry. The best cure for it is to simply shout out the coordinates as loud as you can until they stick in your brain. Don't be surprised if people start giving you funny looks though!
