I am attempting to add some packages to my preamble and keep getting the error message

[package] is not contained in any TeXlive distributions so it cannot be loaded.
Can anyone direct me where to find a list of which packages are supported by TeXlive? I'm having trouble finding this information.
Thanks!

The fastest way is to use the ,ctan command and look at the info it provides:

#

,ctan chemfig

The package provides the command \chemfig{<code>}, which draws molecules using the TikZ package. The <code> argument provides instructions for the drawing operation. While the diagrams produced are essentially 2-dimensional, the package supports many of the conventional notations for illustrating the 3-dimensional layout of a molecule. The package uses TikZ for its actual drawing operations.

Contained in should say TeXLive like up there

It's also worth checking the package versions, we are still on TeXLive 2020 so only packages in that distribution are available
