Shouldn't the countries be the other way around in Arabic if you're trying to say someone is Syrian-American? The Arabic version makes it sound like they are American-Syrian. Please explain the concept if I'm wrong. Thanks.

Yeah, Arabic adjectives follow their nouns, so when there's multiple adjectives, the order ends up being the mirror image of the English order
