How to play B♭m9 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the five strings from the low E to the B at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 8th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 8th fret.

An easier B♭m9
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your ring finger on the low E string at the 6th fret, your index finger on the A string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the D string at the 6th fret, your little finger on the G string at the 6th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 6th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret.
