What could be cause memory problems at 20? i had an mri scan and it was all clear. could i have alzeihmers at this age?

Many possibilities: So many things can cause memory problems (that MRI cannot show) that it is impossible to give a general answer. If your memory is impaired to an extent that is causing problems, see your doctor to review and rule out possible medical causes (e.g., health conditions, medication, recreational drugs). If no obvious medical cause, follow up with a neuropsychological evaluation for meaningful answers.
