Can't add a php code to functions.php file – WordPress

I want to hide certain elements of the wpadminbar if you’re not an admin but are logged in.

<?php if(is_user_logged_in() && !current_user_can(administrator)){  

        #wp-admin-bar-wp-logo{display: none;}

         #wp-admin-bar-site-name{display: none;}
}
?>

I tried adding this code to the last line of functions.php file. The error I get is:

"Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 533(which is the first line of the code) of file wp-content/themes/vtube/functions.php. Please fix and try saving again.

syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘, expecting end of file"

    First off, you shouldn’t be modifying functions.php. A WP update could overwrite your changes.

    You should put this in a plugin and when your if() condition is met, include a CSS file with the changes you want. There’s documentation on including styles in the WordPress codex and you might have to tweak your CSS to get what you want.

    If recommend you hide the entire thing for non-admins and your own component to show the things you do want them to see.

    Code for hiding the admin bar for non-admins (I use this code myself, but seem to remember I’ve borrowed it from an answer on Stackoverflow so don’t credit me for this):

    function prefix_hide_admin_bar( $show ) {
    if ( ! current_user_can( "administrator" ) ) {
      return false;
    }

    return $show;
  }
add_filter( "show_admin_bar", "prefix_hide_admin_bar" );
