How to play G♯9♭5 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the A to the B at the 3rd fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 4th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 4th fret.

An easier G♯9♭5
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your little finger on the low E string at the 4th fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the B string at the 3rd fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the D string ring open.
