The issue here is the use of many vs. much. Typically, many modifies countable nouns, while much modifies uncountable ones. Reference
With "details," a countable noun, the proper sentence would be:
"Try to give me as many details as you can remember."
But you could also have "detail" used as an uncountable noun like "information":
"Try to give me as much detail as you can remember."

It's the combination of much and details (plural) that doesn't work.
You should use one of the following:
As much detail.
As many details.
Detail, as a mass noun, takes a singular form—which much is used with. (As much water or as much candy.) And details, as a countable noun, is plural—which many is used with (as many drinks or as many chocolates).
