It's called a "cam lock" -- something like this https://www.amazon.com/Eccentric-Furniture-Connecter-11-8mm,12-12-2mm,12/dp/B09WN26Z41/

Biggest tip for making the holes yourself? Make a jig. A piece of L-Shaped wood with the holes pre-drilled and your drill bits pre-marked so you don't drill in too deep (or better yet, depth stops).

It'll probably take a few tries on some scrap wood to get the spacing and depth exactly right, but once you do the jig will let you get it perfect every time.
