Pensás conjugation

I just encountered the verb "pensás" in a FB post but can't find it any conjugation table. I found it is the "present vos of pensar" but not in the tables.

Most verb conjugation charts/tables don't include entries that are used where vos is the subject pronoun, but there are websites that do (there are regional differences, by the way, because how it's conjugated isn't the same in all countries where it is commonly used). If you'd like, I can post links to the best websites.

I agree with Rusty. Many conjugation tables ignore "vos", but the RAE has now included it in their dictionary, so you can check any verb there.
The verb "pensar" is conjugated here: https://dle.rae.es/pensar#conjugacionfx3k2Fu

What RAE usually includes is the conjugations for present simple and imperative, as asked by Academia Argentina de Letras.

There's a simpler way for predicting all the conjugations for voseo verbal that seldom fails:

For present simple, take the case for vosotros and delete the i

vosotros pensáis --> vos pensás
vosotros podéis --> vos podés
vosotros queréis --> vos querés

For imperative, take the case for vosotros and delete the final d

pensad (vosotros) --> pensá (vos)
tomad --> tomá
comed --> comé

The same for all other tenses, although they are increasingly dismissed by tuteantes verbales as vulgar uses.

Present subjunctive

penséis --> pensés
tengáis --> tengás

You'll notice that in many cases this matches the cases for tú

vosotros tendríais --> vos tendrías

but there's the strange case of past simple where the correct case for vos matches a mistaken form for tú

vosotros pensasteis --> vos pensastes (correct) / tú pensastes (wrong)

That's a common mistaken among tuteantes verbales that comes from wrongly regarding final s as a mark of second person singular (like saying I knowed instead of I knew because -ed is regarded as a mark of past tense)

piensas - pienses - pensabas - pensaras/pensases - pensarías - pensarás

and then

pensastes (correct for voseantes, as vosotros pensasteis becomes vos pensastes)

pensaste (correct for tuteantes, only form without final s).

You don't know how many times a cultured tuteante went nuclear or bullied a voseante for saying pensastes. This occurs too many times in countries where voseo Is regional and a minority, like Venezuela, Mexico, Perú, and especially Colombia.
