Where to begin...

there is no onclick()="" attribute for elements, it's onclick=""
you have a space between = =
there is no fname1 variable defined
you don't have a condition after else if
if you are using alert() just for your own debugging purpose, use console.log() instead, it will save you time in a long run.

Here is the fixed code:

function nameCheck(){

    let fname1 = document.querySelector("#fname").value;
    let fname2= document.querySelector("#fname2").value;

    if (fname1 === fname2){
       alert("The names match ");

} else{

    alert("They dont match ");
}
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
    <title> nameCheck</title>

    <script src="java/nameCheck.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</head>
<body>
 <form action= "">

    Name: <input type="text" id ="fname" name="fname">
     <br><br>
    RenterName: <input type="text" id ="fname2" name="fname2">


    <br>

    <div class = "buttons">
        


        <input type="reset" value="Reset">
<input type="submit" onclick= "nameCheck()" name = "submit" value = "Submit">
    </div>
 </form>
 
</body>
</html>

Variables

So first, in the if(fname1 = = fname2), and the variable creation, fname and fname1 do not match. Change either one so it matches the other.

`if()` stuff

This is the equality sign: === and you did = =. The space has to be a equal sign.

Also, the else if() is only when you want multiple if()s. else should be used for this program.

HTML Attribute

The onclick() should be onclick.
