What do you think is more important in coding rounds?

Haven't done a crazy load of LC myself but I feel like I have a decent understanding of algo/DS and am pretty comfortable with coding rounds. I usually can grasp the right idea immediately and effectively exchange my thoughts with the interviewer.
My problem is that I struggle implementing my thoughts in a clean, bug-free manner under interview pressure. When that happens, I tell them that I know I'm not writing it in the most elegant manner and will try to improve if I have time left, which might not always be the case.
I know practice makes perfect. But just curious, do you think this is a big red flag comparing to other problems like not able to pick the right algo/DS or doesn't understand how certain DS work?
