I think the problem is this line:
https://github.com/grafana/alloy/blob/main/go.mod#L777

You can maybe try to fetch this additional go.mod somehow manually:
https://github.com/grafana/alloy/blob/main/syntax/go.mod

maybe by an additional manually added distfile entry to place it in the 
expected directly (maybe in a prefetch rule or by just manually 
extending the DIST_FILES).
